Data::Dumper is useful for investigating unknown data structures.

Dummy ini file for testing:

$ cat > pm_config_any.ini
some_key=qwerty
password=Pa55w0rd
other_key=zxcvbn

Code to see full $cfg structure and the specific item you want:

$ perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -E '
use Config::Any;
use Data::Dumper;
my $pw_ini_file = q{./pm_config_any.ini};
my @files = ($pw_ini_file);
my $cfg = Config::Any->load_files({files => \@files, use_ext => 1});
say q{Full $cfg structure:};
say Dumper $cfg;
say q{Password: }, $cfg->[0]{$pw_ini_file}{password};
'
Full $cfg structure:
$VAR1 = [
          {
            './pm_config_any.ini' => {
                                       'password' => 'Pa55w0rd',
                                       'some_key' => 'qwerty',
                                       'other_key' => 'zxcvbn'
                                     }
          }
        ];
