But Now I Need to get all the "state_name" in above structure into an array.

Well, if you must start from there perhaps Data::DPath is one option.

#!/usr/bin/env perl use strict; use warnings; use Data::DPath 'dpath'; my $foo = { '99155' => { 'PR' => [ 'state_name=Puerto Rico', 'county_names_all=Adjuntas|Utuado', ], 'AK' => [ 'state_name=Alaska', 'county_names_all=Ketchikan Gateway|Prince of + Wales-Hyder', ], 'WA' => [ 'state_name=Washington', 'county_names_all=Pend Oreille|Spokane|Lincol +n|Adams', 'comments=America/Los_Angeles' ] }, '26134' => { 'WV' => [ 'state_name=West Virginia', 'county_names_all=Wirt|Wood|Jackson|Ritchie| +Calhoun', 'comments=America/New_York' ] } }; my @names = map { /=(.*)/ } dpath ('/*/*/*[0]')->match ($foo); print "@names\n";

The subsequent filter is left as an exercise.

Update: removed the unnecessary /g modifier. (thanks, LanX)
