Hi people,

Okay I think this a fairly basic concept but I promise you I have done my research prior to posting here but I'm still hopelessly lost!

I've looked at the following posts: How do I make a hash of arrays?, Making a Hash of Arrays, How do I refer to an element of a hash of arrays as an array?

I create my array with...

foreach $line (readline FNAME){
    @data = split /\t/, $line;
    foreach $bit (@data){
        $bit = removeWhiteSpace($bit);
    }
    $id_veritasHash{$count} = \@data;
    $count ++;
}

...and I try to display the array with..

    while ( ($key, @value) = each %id_veritasHash){
        foreach $temp (@value){
            print "$key, $temp\n";
        }
    }

But this just gives me (well I think it is anyway) an array reference...

13, ARRAY(0x121654)
7, ARRAY(0x121654)
5, ARRAY(0x121654)

Please can someone help me here I don't understand whats wrong!

Thanks in advance
