Hi there monks,

I've got a Dancer2 app logging in to azure using the Dancer2::plugin::auth::oauth. Works like a dream. Gives me a session with all sorts of information about the user. In YAML for now, so I can inspect what I have.

Among all that information are the roles the user has. Something you can configure in the app registration on Azure. Works! I can see the information in Vim. Looks something like this in the YAML file:

oauth:
  azuread:
    login_info:
      roles:
        - Medewerkers
        - etm

The file is a lot longer offcourse, deleted all that.

As far as I know session->read() loads in the session (from whatever format) into a hash. When I do:

my $session_data = session->read('oauth');
say "Roles:";
print  Dumper $$session_data{azuread}{login_info}{roles};

[download]

I get on the console:

Roles:
$VAR1 = [
          'Medewerkers',
          'etm'
        ];

[download]

To me it looks like I'm dumping an array reference. So the session hash contains arrays?

But no matter what I do (and I'm sure I did not do enough) I cannot access the individual values of that array. I kinda expected that something like print $$session_data{azuread}{login_info}{roles}[0] would work. Tried it in all sorts of variations. It confuses me to the bone.

What am I doing wrong? What is the way to read those individual values?
