This method recursively drops down to the bottom level of any depth of hash of hashes, and prints the end values.

use strict;
use warnings;

my %hash = (
    "192.168.0.1" => { 
        "randy"  => "thomas",
        "ken"    => "samual"
    },
    "192.168.0.2" => {
        "jessie" => "jessica",
        "terry"  => "ryan"
    }
);

traverse( \%hash );

sub traverse {
    if( ref( $_[0] ) =~ /HASH/ ) {
        traverse( $_[0]{$_} ) foreach keys %{$_[0]};
    } else {
        print "$_[0]\n";
    }
}

The limit to levels of depth is 100 for most Perls, unless you turn off the warning for deep recursion with no warnings qw/recursion/; inside the traverse()sub.
