I think what you're trying to do is something like this: 
my %test = ('a' => {'b' => 'c'});

while ( my($name1, $value1) = each %test )
{
    print "$name1:\n";
    if(ref $value1 eq 'HASH') {
        while ( my($name2, $value2) = each %$value1 )
        {
            print "  $name2: $value2\n";
        }
    } 
    else {
        print "$value1\n";
    }
}

which prints: 
a:
  b: c

The test using ref might be a bit superfluous here, but it opens the door to indeed making the implementation using a recursive sub, and for using uneven leveled hashes. This way, you can nest to an indefinite level.
