I have a hash that looks like this:

$exception_report->{$node}{$exception}{$file}{$metric} = $value;

I have an extremely ugly method for printing this out. I have been reading a little about recursion and believe that would definitly help out here. Could you give me some pointers on how to properly print this out?

for my $node (keys %{$exception_report}) {
    print "Exceptions for $node:\n\n";

    for my $exception (keys %{$exception_report->{$node}}) {

        for my $file (keys %{$exception_report->{$node}{$exception}}) 
+{

            while ( my ($metric, $value) = each %{$exception_report->{
+$node}{$exception}{$file}} ) {
               print "\t$exception : ($file) $metric = $value\n";
            }
        }
    }
}
