Did you try to complile it (perl -c filename.pl)? Probably you should fix syntax errors before going to the next stage. Regarding your particular question, the last part of your code prints out the selected data: you can use $array_ref wherever you need it, as long as this variable doesn't go out of scope. So, the way you're accessing the data seems correct to me.

As a terminating node, I've been hand-slapped yesterday for using a one-word title in a post: don't do that, and the admins will be happy. Suggested readings: How do I compose an effective node title? and Writeup Formatting Tips (your post lacks code tags).

Flavio (perl -e "print(scalar(reverse('ti.xittelop@oivalf')))")

Don't fool yourself.
