I have a variable, $rtn, that looks like this when I print it with Data Dumper: 
$VAR1 = [
          {
            'ship_cost' => '80.84',
            'ServiceType' => 'FIRST_OVERNIGHT',
            'ship_note' => 'Overnight Delivery by 8:00 or 8:30 am',
            'ship_tag' => 'First Overnight'
          },
          {
            'ship_cost' => '43.71',
            'ServiceType' => 'PRIORITY_OVERNIGHT',
            'ship_note' => 'Overnight Delivery by 10:30 am',
            'ship_tag' => 'Priority Overnight'
          },
          {
            'ship_cost' => '38.74',
            'ServiceType' => 'STANDARD_OVERNIGHT',
            'ship_note' => 'Overnight Delivery by 3:00 pm',
            'ship_tag' => 'Standard Overnight'
          },
          {
            'ship_cost' => '17.5',
            'ServiceType' => 'FEDEX_2_DAY',
            'ship_note' => '2 Business Days Delivery by 4:30 pm',
            'ship_tag' => 'Fedex 2 Day'
          },
          {
            'ship_cost' => '13.63',
            'ServiceType' => 'FEDEX_EXPRESS_SAVER',
            'ship_note' => '3 Business Days Delivery by 4:30 pm',
            'ship_tag' => 'Fedex Express Saver'
          },
          {
            'ship_cost' => '7.75',
            'ServiceType' => 'FEDEX_GROUND',
            'ship_note' => '1-5 Business Days Delivery day based on di
+stance to destination',
            'ship_tag' => 'Fedex Ground'
          }
        ];

I've tried everything I can think of to access the nested contents. I need to know the ship_cost for the Fedex 2 Day service. How do I go about referencing that entry? Thank you so much for your help. Dunc
