The ARRAY(0x1808dbc) should give you the clue that you are printing the value of the array reference (the array's address in the perl interpreter's memory space, if you will) rather than the array contents. You need to de-reference it using the @{ array-reference } syntax to get at the contents. Here's a simple example.

use strict;
use warnings;

my %HoH = (
   fred => { age => 54, kids => [ qw{ janet john mary } ] },
   pete => { age => 37, kids => [ qw{ anne tim } ] },
   );

foreach my $person ( keys %HoH )
{
    print
       qq{Person: $person\n},
       qq{   Age: $HoH{$person}->{age}\n},
       qq{  Kids: @{ $HoH{$person}->{kids} }\n},
       ;
}

Which produces

Person: pete
   Age: 37
  Kids: anne tim
Person: fred
   Age: 54
  Kids: janet john mary

I hope this helps you.
