Unless you use key based lookup for the data elsewhere you would probably be better to use a nested array structure instead of the nested hash structure you are currently using. Consider:

#!c:\Perl\bin\perl use warnings; use strict; use constant KANRI_01_0 => 0x00000001; # TBC use constant KANRI_01_1 => 0x00000002; # TBC use constant KANRI_02_0 => 0x00000004; # TBC use constant KANRI_02_1 => 0x00000008; # TBC use constant KANRI_03_0 => 0x00000010; # TBC use constant KANRI_04_1 => 0x00000020; # TBC use constant KANRI_04_2 => 0x00000040; # TBC use constant KANRI_04_3 => 0x00000080; # TBC use constant KANRI_04_4 => 0x00000100; # TBC use constant KANRI_05_1 => 0x00000200; # TBC use constant KANRI_05_2 => 0x00000400; # TBC use constant KANRI_06_1 => 0x00000800; # TBC use constant KANRI_07_1 => 0x00001000; # TBC use constant KANRI_07_2 => 0x00002000; # TBC use constant KANRI_07_3 => 0x00004000; # TBC use constant KANRI_07_4 => 0x00008000; # TBC use constant KANRI_07_5 => 0x00010000; # TBC use constant KANRI_08_1 => 0x00020000; # TBC my @menu = ( [Outer1 => [ [O1Inne1 => KANRI_04_1], [O1Inne2 => KANRI_04_2], [O1Inne3 => KANRI_04_3], [O1Inne4 => KANRI_04_4], ]], [Outer2 => [[O2Inne1 => KANRI_05_1]]], [Outer3 => [[O3Inne1 => KANRI_06_1]]], [Outer4 => [ [O4Inne1 => KANRI_07_1], [O4Inne2 => KANRI_07_2], [O4Inne3 => KANRI_07_3], [O4Inne4 => KANRI_07_4], [O4Inne5 => KANRI_07_5], ]], [Outer5 => [[O5Inne1 => KANRI_08_1]]], ); for my $mainMenuItem (@menu) { print "$mainMenuItem->[0]\n"; for my $subMenuItem (@{$mainMenuItem->[1]}) { print "$subMenuItem->[0] = $subMenuItem->[1] "; } print "\n"; }

Prints:

Outer1 O1Inne1 = 32 O1Inne2 = 64 O1Inne3 = 128 O1Inne4 = 256 Outer2 O2Inne1 = 512 Outer3 O3Inne1 = 2048 Outer4 O4Inne1 = 4096 O4Inne2 = 8192 O4Inne3 = 16384 O4Inne4 = 32768 +O4Inne5 = 65536 Outer5 O5Inne1 = 131072
True laziness is hard work
