Hey there. I have a hash that's sort of 3-dimensional. Each hash value is itself an array of strings and arrays. The hash %policies has been populated with this line:

$policies{$ruleNum} = [ $ruleName, $srcZone, [ @srcList ], $dstZone, [ @dstList ], [ @svcList ], $ruleAction ];

I'm trying to get into the embedded arrays with the following code, but the print command is giving array references. What am I doing wrong? Thank you!!!

sub get_address_policies {
    my $targetAddr = shift;
    my $targetType = shift;
    my $targetRole = shift;
    my @polMembers;

    
    foreach my $policy (keys %policies) {
        (lc($targetRole) eq "source") ? (@polMembers = $policies{$poli
+cy}[2]) : (@polMembers = $policies{$policy}[4]);

        foreach my $polMember ( @polMembers ) {
            print "$polMember\n";
        }
    }


}
