Just one other thing would you know what I would need to do to this sub routine so that I could get different output formats? For example I still need to pass in @keylist to the subroutine to make sure all the keys are there but I want to also parse in an output format string aswell. So for example if I wanted to print all the lines like this:

%export_name:%filer_device:%filer_volume
[download]

or print them with every value like this:

%export_name:%filer_device:%filer_volume:%mount_acl:%mount_group:%moun
+t_user:%mount_opts
[download]

So I want to be able to pass in $output_format to this function. $output_format equates to one of the strings above. So I could the run funtion like this:

recurse_hash(\%$decoded_json_obj, {}, @keylist, $output_format);
