I'm not the greatest at hash refs, but I'm trying to find the subkeys of a DBM::Deep key. My program will help explain. 
# Using Strawberry Perl 5.18.2

use strict;
use DBM::Deep;

my($dbm,$i,$j,$s,$t);
my(@k);

$dbm=DBM::Deep->new('test.db');

$dbm->{'A'}->{'20150301'}=10; # First quote for A
$dbm->{'A'}->{'20150302'}=11; # First quote for A
$dbm->{'B'}->{'20150301'}=8; # First quote for A
$dbm->{'B'}->{'20150302'}=8.5; # First quote for A

# How to list only subkeys for A?
@k=keys(%$dbm->{'A'}); # ERROR HERE
# ERROR IS: "Using a hash as a reference is deprecated at testkey.pl line 14.
# Type of argument to keys on reference must be unblessed hashref or
# arrayref at testkey line 14."
$i=($#k+1);
print "$i keys for key A\n";


exit; # Main

I tried looking in the docs but didn't see any examples of what I wanted. '

Thank you!
