Without seeing the rest of your code, I'll venture this response.

In the code you displayed here, $self->{TABLE} is a reference to a hash element, and if it's the hash being referenced by "$self" that you wish to retrieve the values from, then you merely need to dereference the hash like this: 

  my @TABLE_ARRAY = values ( %{$self} );

Which will get you back the values ("val1", "val2", "val3") from a structure that looks like this: 

$self = {
    "key1" => "val1",
    "key2" => "val2",
    "key3" => "val3",
};

If, on the other hand, $self->{TABLE} contains a reference to another hash as it's value, and that is what you're after, then you'll need to dereference it like this: 

  my @TABLE_ARRAY = values ( %{$self->{TABLE}} );

[download]

which will get you back the values ("val1", "val2", "val3") from a structure that looks like this: 

$self = {
    "TABLE" => {
        "key1" => "val1",
        "key2" => "val2",
        "key3" => "val3",
    }
};

Study up on perlref, and I would also highly recommend you take a look at Data::Dumper which lets you print them out and have a peek.
