Re^7: multi level hash terror - if statement to access specific elements

Sorry that's a typo...but using the correct equality operator still results in all surnames getting printed

Are all the surnames "Gay"?

Is this what you have?

my %names = (
    abe    => { lincoln    => [ 'Cheddar', 'Cheddar', ], },
    george => { washington => [ 'Gay',     'Gay', ], },
);
for my $key ( keys %names ) {
    for my $key2 ( keys $names{$key} ) {
        if ( $names{$key}{$key2}[0] eq 'Gay' ) {
            print "Last Name:" . $names{$key}{$key2}[1] . "\n";
        }
    }
}
__END__
Last Name:Gay

There is no lincoln/cheddar printed
