What if you did not know the names of the keys under the parent like the following. This was extracted from data dumper. 
$VAR1 = '4';
$VAR2 = {
          '' => '',
          '35' => 'D',
          '11' => '3104052',
          '63' => '0',
          '167' => 'FUT',
          '200' => '200512',
          '1' => '2',
          '44' => '112.55',
          '55' => 'XEURFGBM0F2005Z',
          '50' => 'portwaretrader1',
          '40' => '2',
          '57' => 'RISKGATEWAY',
          '15' => 'USD',
          '38' => '1',
          '52' => '20051118-07:31:46',
          '59' => '0',
          '60' => '20051118-07:31:40',
          '34' => '37',
          '56' => 'EXLINK_CAMPBELL',
          '49' => 'CAMPBELL_EXLINK',
          '10' => '170',
          '54' => '1'
        };

So the parent keys are just numbers like 1.2.3.4.4.5.5 and i have a counter which holds how many keys are in the %messagebin hash, so what i want to be able to do is sort and process each key under the parent with the value.
Something like 
    for my $file (sort keys %messagebin) {
      #enter into key
      $messagebin{$file}  then 
        foreach my $key in the above print out $key = $value
    }

Sorry does not make much sense.
