Hi, I'm using the Tcl module to execute a few commands, communicating with an RPC Server through a Tcl API. I am being returned a keyed list. Is there anyway to convert this list into something useful in Perl where I can retrieve values.

Here is the keyed list that I have a handle on in Perl:

Stats: {{Register {{CumulativeActive(calls)(In) 0} {CumulativeSuccessf
+ullyEstablished(calls)(In) 0} {CumulativeSuccessfullyCompleted(calls)
+(In) 0} {CumulativeUnsuccessful(calls)(In) 0} }}} {{{Make Cal
l} {{CumulativeActive(calls)(In) 0} {CumulativeSuccessfullyEstablished
+(calls)(In) 0} {CumulativeSuccessfullyCompleted(calls)(In) 0} {Cumula
+tiveUnsuccessful(calls)(In) 0} }}} {{Initiating {{CumulativeA
ctive(calls)(In) 0} {CumulativeSuccessfullyEstablished(calls)(In) 0} {
+CumulativeSuccessfullyCompleted(calls)(In) 0} {CumulativeUnsuccessful
+(calls)(In) 0} }}} {{Summary {{CumulativeActive(calls)(In) 0}
 {CumulativeSuccessfullyEstablished(calls)(In) 0} {CumulativeSuccessfu
+llyCompleted(calls)(In) 0} {CumulativeUnsuccessful(calls)(In) 0} }}}

What would be the easiest way for me to get the value of Make Call->CumulativeSuccessfullyEstablished(calls)(In) for example?
