Dear Perl Monks,

I am running into a wall when I use TMDB's 

my @results = $search->find(
    id     => 'tt0114694',
    source => 'imdb_id'
);

The result I get back is a hash that comes back in a referenced array. in my case it's just one item returned, which is posted at the bottom. When I read the fifth key in the hash, I get an array. I am assumed that it is also an array of another hash. Obviously it is not, and there is where I am stuck.

When I use this code, I get the same array for both. If someone can tell me what I am getting wrong, I'd appreciate it so much.

foreach my $narray (@results){
  print $narray->{"movie_results"};
  print "\n";
  my @newarray = $narray->{"movie_results"};
  print $newarray[0];
  print "\n";

This is my output from the original call

$VAR1 = {
              'tv_season_results' => [],
              'tv_results' => [],
              'person_results' => [],
              'tv_episode_results' => [],
