I am returning a reference to an array a scalar and 2 references to hashes
I then pass these values to different subroutines.
How do I loop through the values of the hashes.
below is the code that passes returns the values
my($dbh) = @_;
    my @datamodels;
    my %filenames;
    my %dbids;
    my $sql = "select DATAMODEL_CD, DB_ID, FILENAME from PRDRELEASE wh
+ere RELEASE_FG = 1";
    my $sth = $$dbh->prepare($sql)
           or $app->error($FATAL, "Can't do SQL statement [ $sql ] :: 
+$DBI::errstr");
    $sth->execute();

    while (my @values = $sth->fetchrow_array()){
    push (@datamodels, $values[0]);
    $dbids{$values[0]} = $values[1];
    $filenames{$values[0]} = $values[2];
    }#end while loop

    printf("@datamodels\n");
    my $numelements = @datamodels;
    return (\@datamodels, $numelements, \%dbids, \%filenames);

This is the code recieving the the values from the above code
my ($datamodels, $numelements, $dbids, $filenames) = get_data(\$dbh);

Now I pass filenames to a different subroutine.
create_file(\$dbh, $datamodels, $date, $numelements, $filenames);

How do I call the appropriate value within the calling subroutine?
This is what I have tried.
my ($dbh, $datamodel, $date, $numelements, $filenames) = @_; 
my $file = "$filenames{$datamodel->[$count]}"
print "$file\n";
