Hi Monks, I'm trying to loop through a hash reference, it's something to do with it not accepting a hash reference, I get this error and I can't figure out how to workaround it: Using a hash as a reference is deprecated at test.pl line 636. Type of arg 1 to each must be hash (not hash element) at scroll.pl line 636, near "})" Execution of test.pl aborted due to compilation errors. The hash reference has the structure: $config->{ 'DATA' }->( 'different keys' } = value; Here is the code: 
while (($key, $value) = each(%$config->{ 'DATA' })) {
                  
                     }
