use Data::Dumper;
my $structure = [ 'complex', { data => 'structure' } ];

Sorry, I tend to think a little different than most people and assume the wrong things. That line of code assigns a reference to an array which contains an email message. I want to be able to print that. I hope that makes more sense.

Gotcha. No problem :) If all you want to do is print the contents of an array reference, just do:

print @{ $arrayref };

So, in your example, all you should have to do is:

print @{ $msgs[$command]->{message} }

assuming I understand the way your datastructure is setup. Hope that helps.

    $msgs[$command]{message} = $pop->get($command);

    $msgs[$command]{message}

    print Dumper \@msgs;

Thanx. That worked beautifully, once I realized that in order to print it I need to say print @{msgs[$command]{message}}; I appreciate your help.
