I am only just beginning to get refs, despite having read Camel on the subject and many posts here. Actually, I am not even getting them, I am cargo_cult programming ("Hmm this worked before let's try it again").
The problem:
I can populate cells with Tr (\@cells) where @cells is:
 @rows = map {$q->td( {-align=>'left'},  b("$_ Parish:") ).
                $q->td( {-bgcolor=>"$data"},@{$info{$_}}[$index]).
                $q->td( {-bgcolor=>"$data"},@{$info{$_}}[$index2]).
                $q->td( {-bgcolor=>"$data"},@{$info{$_}}[$index3]) } @
+keys;

What I want to do is migrate to including the Tr() method call in the map so I can print say @rows and have it do a Tr per %key for instance. Or maybe even a whole table, whatever, you get it. Thing is I got errors for an undeclared hash when I tried this and simply changing my code to say %cells where it had @cells did not work because ??? I can't just print \%cells ??? .
My question: How do I migrate from this arrayref to a hash ref? Or, alternately what is it that I fail to grok about this (as my question may be irrelevant to my problem)?
TIA
