in reply to Re^3: Iterate over a perl nested hash data structure
in thread Iterate over a perl nested hash data structure

From this:

$VAR2 = { 'dev' => [ { 'nfsmount' => { 'bigstor_nfs' => { 'bigstor17_mpt' => { 'filer_device' => { 'ny_loc' => 'nnap5307-s', 'nj_loc' => 'nydevnfs_bigstor_volC' }, 'filer_volume' => { 'ny_loc' => '/vol/bigstor_volC/bigstor +17', 'nj_loc' => '/vol/bigstor_volC/bigstor +17' }, ... More here ...

To access 'nydevnfs_bigstor_volC' you would do:

$VAR2->{dev}[0]{nfsmoun}{bigstor_nfs}{bigstor17_mpt}{filer_device}{nj_ +loc}

You can use the iteration logic provided below along with this to reach any element you need.
