Blessed Perl monks, I've been on this problem for 6 hours now and I must submit. I need help. I'm trying to dereference a complex data structure and can't seem to figure it out. The data structure is referenced by a global variable: $IN Doing Data::Dumper($IN) yields: 
$VAR1 = bless( {
                 'data_loaded' => 1,
                 'params' => {},
                 'cookies' => {
                                'Community_Sesssion' => [
                                                          '68ce4195515
+b8040f9174503dacfe200'
                                                        ],
                                'PHPSESSID' => [
                                                 'e09347f6ca73f155b1fd
+6500e92302b8'
                                               ],
                                '__utmb' => [
                                              '248415237'
                                            ],
                                
                                '__utmc' => [
                                              '248415237'
                                            ],
                               
                                '__qcb' => [
                                             '608960055'
                                           ],

                                '__qca' => [
                                             '1234223794-30138386-6175
+0767'
                                           ]
                              },
                 'p' => '',
                 'nph' => 0,
                 '_debug' => 0
               }, 'GT::CGI' );

What I'm trying to do is iterate through all the values of the cookies hash and do something with them. The last think I tried (out of about 100 other ways) is: 

        my %cookie_hash = $IN->{cookies};

    foreach my $group (keys %cookie_hash) {
        print "The members of $group are\n";
        foreach (@{$cookie_hash{$group}}) {
            print "\t$_\n";
        }
    }

This outputs: 
The members of HASH(0x828b958) are

Honestly, I'm stumped... Any help would be greatly appreciated.. Mike
