Also note that it's not necessary to use a C-style loop...

Yes, sure, but you don't even need a $i variable to loop on the array and make a real Perl loop using directly the reference. This makes the dereferencing simpler. 

use strict;
use warnings;

my @AoH = (
    {
        a => "a1",
        b => "b1",
        c => "c1",
    },
    {
        d => "d1",
        e => "e1",
        f => "f1",
    },

    {
        g => "g1",
        h => "h1",
        i => "i1",
    },
);

for my $hashref (@AoH) {
    print "$_ => $$hashref{$_}\n" for (keys %$hashref);
}

which will print: 
$ perl  aoh.pl
c => c1
a => a1
b => b1
e => e1
d => d1
f => f1
h => h1
g => g1
i => i1
