Re: Complicated Nested Data Structures

I'm not sure I understand the question. Do you want to print the datastructure itself, or the data it contains? If you want to print a representation of the datastructure, use Data::Dumper:

use Data::Dumper;
my $structure = [ 'complex', { data => 'structure' } ];
print Dumper($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. - p u n k k i d "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." -Albert Einstein	[reply]

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.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
