Hello, I am returning from an inline C function an array filled with references to hashes (see my code below). In this particular case, just for testing, I am returning 1 hash. In the perl code I am walking the array, and subsequently walking the hash. I am returning correctly the keys of the hash, but for whatever reason, getting at the key-value fails in the foreach loop of the hash. Tried everything, but currently to no avail. The uncommented line prints the keys. Uncommenting the second one doesn't produce the values. Tried hard and really wondering what's going on here. Could somebody have a look at this. Any help very much appreciated. Cheers, 
   ..........
    foreach my $key (sort keys %$href) {
       print "Key: ".$key."\n";
     # print "Key: ".$key." => Value: ".$href->{$key}."\n";
    }
   ..........
