Monks =P,

For my current project I had a need for a bit of a involved data structure, i.e. a hash of hashes that contains arrays i.e.

thing1:
    item1: [banana]
    item2: [pineapple, kiwi, grapes]
thing2:
    item1: [apple, pear]

[download]

an example of one of the lines that is giving this response is.... 

foreach my $clientcode ( @{%client_list{$session}}->{clientrate}} ) {

[download]

now I have the whole thing working nicely, however I am getting a message that ...

Using a hash as a reference is deprecated at ./test.pl line 258

...when trying to acess elements of the inner array.

At the moment I've just turned warnings off and left strict on, but it bugs me not to has the latest acess methodology. I'm using perl 5.8.4 atm. If someone could enlighten me as to the correct access method that would be great =).

Regards Paul
