The only thing I've found in the docs, under that section, is dereferencing a reference to an array. I've tried doing something similar to dereference the hash, but not getting much luck with it.

The param is returning the contents of the hash, but not acting like it once it's retrieved.

my $access = $session->param("access"); where the contents of the param 'access' is a hash containing a hash. The contents are correct, when using Data::Dumper, but it's not treating it like a hash. Seems more to be treating it like a string.

print Dumper($access);
returns:
$VAR1 = { 'main' => { 'access' => 1 }, 'server1' => { '1' => { 'siteName1' => 12 }, '10' => { 'siteName2' => 12 } } };

which is the correct structure of the hash (and hashes within it, etc.)
