I am actually trying to avoid having the above hash structure in the related function I mentioned, since this function deals with many different attributes that I find convenient to provide via the hash.

If I were to use a similar hash structure to your example in this function, it would now need to be called in the following (tedious) way:

myfunction($id,{ kung => { value => foo }, foo => { value => bar}});

Here is the ideal hash structure with some example attributes that I am trying to attain through the select:

Attributes now: $VAR1 = {
          '49CBAF4B' => {
                          'occurrences' => 999,
                          'object' => 'device123',
                          'timestamp' => 1261660376,
                          'value' => 90,
                          'max' => 96
                        }
        };

If this cannot be done, I might be forced to map the results to a hash with the desired layout, or look at a different approach altogether.
