Updated: Added the omitted { words } term in the keys expression.

Update2: Added omitted paren as noted by johngg.

What you appear to be asking for is

my @wordsList; for my $word ( keys %{ $hash{ $w1 }{ $w2 }{ words } } ) { push @wordsList, ( $key ) x $hash{ $w1 }{ $w2 }{ words }{ $key }; } print @wordsList[ rand( @wordsList ) ];

There are probably bits of that you do not understand, but rather than my trying to guess which they are, it's easier if you ask. In this thread rather than starting a new one.

Note: I've omitted the -> between the terms of the hash references as they are optional and I personal don't think thay add clarity, but your way is fine also.


Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
