You might like to use strict; use warnings; with that and fix the syntax first. Note that because you are using hashes the order of the keys is not preserved unless you use tie magic. The following gets close to what you would like to see:

use strict; use warnings; my %host = ( 'ip1' => { 'tcp' => { '21' => { 'state' => 'open', 'service' => 'ftp', }, '80' => { 'state' => 'open', 'service' => 'web', } } }, 'ip2' => { 'tcp' => { '23' => { 'state' => 'open', 'service' => 'telnet', }, '80' => { 'state' => 'open', 'service' => 'web', } } } ); for (keys %host) { my %ip = %{$host{$_}{'tcp'}}; print "$_\n"; for my $port (keys %ip) { print " $port " . join ' ', map {$ip{$port}{$_}} keys %{$ip{$por +t}}; print "\n"; } }

prints:

ip1 21 ftp open 80 web open ip2 23 telnet open 80 web open

Perl is Huffman encoded by design.
