Hi Monks, still learning to handle datastructures here, having a bit of trouble with some data that looks like this:

$VAR1 = {
          
          'Addresses' => {
                           'ArrayOfAddressResponse' => {
                                                         'AddressRespo
+nse' => [
                                                                      
+          {
                                                                      
+            'CountyName' => 'NEW YORK',
                                                                      
+            'Street2' => {},
                                                                      
+            'LastLine' => 'NEW YORK NY 10025-4857',                  
+                                              
                                                                      
+          },
                                                                      
+          {
                                                                      
+            'CountyName' => 'NEW YORK',
                                                                      
+            'Street2' => {},
                                                                      
+            'LastLine' => 'NEW YORK NY 10025-4858',
                                                                      
+                                                                     
+       },
                                                                      
+          {
                                                                      
+            'CountyName' => 'NEW YORK',
                                                                      
+            'Street2' => {},
                                                                      
+            'LastLine' => 'NEW YORK NY 10025-4808',
             
etc.

So what I think I see here is a hash containing an Array reference, and indeed if I print:

$content->{Addresses}{ArrayOfAddressResponse}{AddressResponse}
[download]

I get an "ARRAYx..." So I'm thinking I'd like to iterate through that list and do something with the values, so I do:

foreach my $response ( $content->{Addresses}{ArrayOfAddressResponse}{A
+ddressResponse} ) {...
[download]

But when I do this and print $response inside the loop, it tells me it's an ARRAY. I can even dereference the data within the loop with like $response->[0]{Street}. But that doesn't seem to make sense. What am I mis-conceptualizing, here? I guess the crux of it is I can't figure out what to put inside the foreach parentheses to let me iterate through the list of hashes. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
