Please wrap code in <code> code tags </code>

     my $mailbox = $conn->getMailboxAvailablity (
          DOMAIN         => $UserDomainName
          MAILBOX_LIST   => $UserLoginName)
[download]

if $mailbox is HASH(0x222b4c) then getMailboxAvailability() is returning a hash reference. You need to dereference it. The clearest way (but definately not the only way or even the best way... TIMTOWTDI) is like this:

my %dereferenced_hash = %{$hash_reference};

# of course, you can also access elements via the ref directly:
print "yeah\n" if exists $$hashref{'key2'};

# or even
print "insufficient\n" unless $hashref->{'balance'} > $request;

But your question is a bit vague so I'm not sure what you are asking. You didn't post a complete subroutine, so I don't know what's really going on. But at least I can tell you how to deal with HASH(0x222b4c)

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
