I have a reference to a hash of hashs. e.g.
use vars qw($v); $v = ( h1 => { k1 => vh1k1, k2 => vh1k2, } h2 => { k1 => vh2k1, k2 => vh2k2, } )
Now I'd like to access the values for a sub hash in a foreach loop, but only for a given occurrence of 'h1' or 'h2'. e.g.
my $ofCurrentInterest = 'h1'; foreach $key (keys $v->{$ofCurrentInterest}) { $$key = $v->{ofCurrentInterst}->{$key} }
I've tried all the approaches I can think off but the compiler is never happy that I am passing a hash to keys.

Does anyone have any tips please?

Thanks
