I tried adding that line that you asked me to add, but now it complains of having a configuration or compilation error. Here is what the perl script looks like now 

        # Iterate over the configuration types listed in @type_order
        foreach my $type (@type_order) {
                print "$log_pre running $action for $type entries\n";
                # Iterate over all items of that type
                my $type_hash = $hashref->{$type};                    
+  #shortcut to smaller hash
                foreach my $item (keys %{$type_hash}) {
                        print "$log_pre running $action for $type $ite
+m\n";
die "$type doesn't exist in %{\$hashref}" or isnt a hash ref unless ex
+ists $hashref->{$type} && ref $hashref->{$type} eq 'HASH';
                        my $item_hash = $type_hash->{$item};          
+  #shortcut to smaller hash
                        #Add values for type and action into the hash
                        $item_hash->{'name'} = $item;
                        $item_hash->{'type'} = $type;
                        $item_hash->{'action'} = $action;
                        #print Dumper($item_hash);
                        #execute action for the individual configurati
+on
                        unless (db2_mgmt_cat(\%{$item_hash})) {

Please let me know what you think. I'm still getting the pseudo-hash error, I'm wondering if that has something to do with it. THANK YOU!!!
