in reply to ask about array and hash

When you say:

print ${$entry->FTs->elements};

I think you meant to dereference it as an @rray and not as a $calar

For example:

getting the contents of a SCALAR reference: ${ $scalar_ref }

getting the contents of an ARRAY reference: @{ $array_ref }


If I understood the question, you meant this:
print @{$entry->FTs->elements};
