Hi Monks! I'm having a devil of a time comprehending what Template::Toolkit wants from me. I have an object that resembles this:

$VAR1 = {
          '10.1.7.142' => {
                          'counter' => 2,
                          'clusterstatus' => on,
                          }, 
           '10.1.7.11' => {
                          'counter' => 3,
                          'clusterstatus' => off,
                          }, 
           '10.1.7.112' => {
                          'counter' => 3,
                          'clusterstatus' => on,
                          }, 
       };

As you can see, I'm collecting information about different IP's. I don't know in advance what they will be. I send the object itself to the template code, which looks like this:

[%  FOREACH ip = data %]

this is ip [% ip %] counter is [% ip.counter %]

[% END %]
[download]

Which yields me:

this is ip is HASH(0x9c68328) counter is 
this is ip is HASH(0x9c62e68) counter is 
this is ip is HASH(0x9c62d0c) counter is
[download]

So I expect to get "HASH(0x...)" for the $ip variable, but I don't understand why I can't access ip.counter. I've even tried making a separate hashref with a simple list of ip's in the hash and iterating through that:

in the same object:

          'ips' => [
                     '10.1.7.142',
                     '10.1.7.11',
                     '10.1.7.112'
                   ],
[download]

and then:

[%  FOREACH ip in ips %]

this is ip is [% ip %] counter is [% ip.counter %]

[% END %]
[download]

But with that I get nothing at all, like it can't find the 'ips' key. In the past when I'm using key names that are predictable, I haven't had any trouble, but this one is kicking my behind. It appears I'm misapprehending something basic--any input would be greatly appreciated!
