I have a hash which looks somewhat like this ( it has multiple keys for "connection-id" and "username" 

$VAR1 = {
          'connection-id' => {
                       'username' => [
                                       value 1,
                                       value 2
                                     ],
                             }
....
}

What I want to do is loop through that hash and make a string comparison to "value 2" for each of the users but it only give me the first user in the hash, I don't understand why. Appreciate your feedback in advance. This is my loop 

foreach my $connection (keys %h) {
        foreach my $userid (keys %{$h{$connection}}) {
                @a_ref = @{$h{$connection}{$userid}};

                        if(lc($userid) eq "rmdb_dbo") {
                            print @a_ref, if ( $a_ref[1] =~ m/update\s
+*[table\s*]rmdb_dbo./i );
                        }
        }
}
