How would i properly access "hash reference member"? See "PrintHash" for what I'm trying to do. Thanks.

X.pm: 
package X;

sub new
{
    my ($class)  = @_;
    
    my %ht = ();
    %ht= ("x" => "y");
    my $self = 
    {    
        HREF => \%ht,

    };

    bless $self, $class;
    return $self;
}
sub PrintHash
{
    my($self) = @_;
    # this doesn't work ("scalar found where operator expected"):
    # while( my ($k, $v) = each (%$self->{HREF}) ) 
    # . . .
}

1;

main.pl: 
use X;
my $x = new X();
$x->PrintHash();
