Further to runrig's replies:
It's important to understand at each step how the structures of the hash and arrays are changing and evolving. Here's a kind of "running commentary" on that evolution, and a possible way to access and print what you want. Liberal use of data structure (for that's what you're dealing with; see perldsc) dump statements can be very enlightening about the changes that are going on. (And BTW, congratulations on being able to work with a system having at least 128 Terabytes of system RAM — or do I misinterpret the reference address of 0x7ffafc013bf8?)
