>   DB<63>  x 1 grep { ...

Couldn't find it documented with h x , but the 1 limits the output to the first level.

Good to know! :)

Update

Demo 

DB<17> !1
@a = map +{$_=>[1..3]}, a ..d

  DB<18> x 1 @a
0  HASH(0xa7041080)
1  HASH(0xa70411c0)
2  HASH(0xa70413e0)
3  HASH(0xa6f048c0)
  DB<19> x 2 @a
0  HASH(0xa7041080)
   'a' => ARRAY(0xa70098d0)
1  HASH(0xa70411c0)
   'b' => ARRAY(0xa7027540)
2  HASH(0xa70413e0)
   'c' => ARRAY(0xa7027860)
3  HASH(0xa6f048c0)
   'd' => ARRAY(0xa7041b70)
  DB<20>

    I may have misunderstood your question.

    If you want to dive selectively into a particular sub-hash, why don't you just select that hash by name or index?

     
  DB<27> x 1 @a
0  HASH(0xa7041080)
1  HASH(0xa70411c0)
2  HASH(0xa70413e0)
3  HASH(0xa6f048c0)
  DB<28> x grep /080\)/,@a
0  HASH(0xa7041080)
   'a' => ARRAY(0xa70098d0)
      0  1
      1  2
      2  3
  DB<29> x @a[1]
0  HASH(0xa70411c0)
   'b' => ARRAY(0xa7027540)
      0  1
      1  2
      2  3
  DB<30>
