sorry to post the question here but i haven't found it answered yet - i looked at the tutorials, faqs, q&a parts, made a search and still have no info so here it is 

 my hash is build in parsing an xml document (my $hash_name = XMLin($r
+esult);)
 if i print Dumper($hash_name{'element1'}->{'element2'}), i get :
 $VAR1 = {
          '365' => {
                     another hash of hashes ...
                   },
          '302' => {
                     another one 
                   }
        };

[download]

the point is that i want to retrieve '365' and/or '302' - they are not preset values

i thought that doing 

my %tmp = $hash_name{'element1'}->{'element2'};

[download]

and then using keys %tmp would give me those values, but it doesn't so please could someone help me ???
