I'm trying to use a hash and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I believe I'm either populating my has wrong, or printing it wrong. Can someone help point out what my problem (with the code) is? 
undef %db_processes;
$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:$dsn_name", "$dsn_user", "$dsn_pwd")
        or quittext_opc ("Failed to connect to database $dsn_name\n", 
+$app, $SEV1, $GRP3, "5051", $STAT1);
    
$qry = "select sid,'|',serial#,'|',status,'|',process,'|',username,'|'
+ from v\$session;";

$sth = $dbh->prepare($qry);
$sth->execute();
while ( @dummyrow = $sth->fetchrow_array ) 
    {
    ($pp0,$pp1) = split /:/,$dummyrow[6];
    $db_processes{$pp1} = {SID => $dummyrow[0],
                SERIAL => $dummyrow[2],
                STATUS => $dummyrow[4],
                PROCESS    => $dummyrow[6],
                USERNAME => $dummyrow[8],
                };
    }
foreach $hashy (@db_processes)
{
    print "in if\n";
    print "$hashy->[0]\n";
}

$dbh->disconnect();

The data is extracted from the database fine. I have printed the $dummyrows and see the data. I just can't get the hash to print values. Thanks, Jim
