You are close, but off by a little. The code @$Hash{ArrayInHash} translates into @{$Hash}{ArrayInHash}, which is definitely not what you want; what you need is @{ $Hash{ArrayInHash} }. So you'd update your code as follows:

%Hash = ( ArrayInHash => [1,2,3,4], ); print "Array in hash: @{$Hash{ArrayInHash}}"; @Array = @{$Hash{ArrayInHash}}; print "\nArray: @Array"; $ArrayRef = $Hash{ArrayInHash}; @Array2 = @$ArrayRef; print "\nArray from ordinary scalar reference: @Array2"; print "\n\nTrying a foreach loop with the hash"; foreach(@{$Hash{ArrayInHash}}) { print "\n$_"; } print "\n\nTrying a foreach loop with the scalar array reference"; foreach(@$ArrayRef) { print "\n$_"; }
