Hi all, I'll start off by say thanks to Ben, I got the last problem fixed. Now the next:
So I inhereted a script k.pl that runs on win32 using Tk as a GUI. I've been trying to automate several tasks in the app as they are very tedious and require huge amounts of user interaction. It's worth noting k.pl references several .pms. My problem now is that I'm printing several variable so I know what I need to pass to the various .pms and I got the following:

K::DB::Item=HASH(0x5897d64)

This was a valus that I got from printing the var $obj.


$obj is passed from a selection menu where the user is asked to select an item. K::DB:Item is think references a cache to the local MySQL database that the apps uses. I have a folder called K::DB and an item.pm in Perl/Site/Lib.

I guess what I'd like to know if now do I print the value behind the HASH, is there one. I've read that I need to put it into an array to print it? Is that right how do I do that?

Sorry for the dumb questions, I'm still learning. -Mark
