My example code gives me the following: The content of file2 is: ARRAY(0x1fd55b0) The content of file1 is: ARRAY(0x1fb5a68) The content of file3 is: ARRAY(0x1fd56d0)

Inside the sub I want to dereference the content of that ARRAY but even after reading a lot of other examples and trying out many solutions I did not find the right way to do it on my own... (instead of the 'ARRAY' it should show all values in there like host1, bla etc.) Also I want to be able to dynamically extend my orginal %hash with a new file-entry ($key) named file4 with its own values ($insert_val) in this example, I also had problems with that part (which is commented out atm). I hope anyone can help me... Many thanks in advance! 
sub testfunc (\%)
{
        my ( $href ) = @_;

        my $key = "file4";
        my $insert_val="host1";
        my $insert_val2="foo";

        #push(@{$href{$key}}, $insert_val);
        #push(@{$href{$key}}, $insert_val2);


        foreach my $file (keys %$href) {
            print "The content of $file is:\n";
            foreach my $line ( $href->{$file} ) {
                print "\t$line\n";
            }
        }
}

my %hash = ( file1 => [ 'host1', 'bla', 'foo', ], file2 => [ 'host2', 
+'host1', '..', ], file3 => [ 'x', 'host2', 'host1' ] );
testfunc(%hash);
