in reply to Passing hash references into subs

At least in my experieance the -> operator doesn't interpolate. You can do one of two things:

print $book_ref->{'name'},"<br>\n";

Or: 
print "$$book_ref{'name'}<br>\n";

To me the first method seems cleaner but its just personal preference.

Hope that helps
Chris

    The original code should work fine. Try this example: 
    my $hashref = {'name' => 'Homer'};
print "$hashref->{'name'}\n";
