Hello Perl Compatriots,

I'm interested in knowing how to display the data in a hash of hashes using printf. I'm familiar with how to iterate through a typical hash and display the data using printf to format it but I'm having a difficult time displaying the data for a hash of hashes to format it with printf to get it to display how i want it. I know it must be easy but I'm having a bit of a difficult time. Any help would be greatly appreciated

For example,

if the Data is organized as such in the hash of hashes:

James' => {
    'detection_profile' => 'disable'
},
'Bob' => {
    'detection_profile' => 'enable',
    'detection_profile_severity' => '180'
},
'Billy' => {
    'detection_profile' => 'enable',
    'detection_profile_severity' => '180'
},
'Stephanie' => {
    'detection_profile' => 'enable',
    'detection_profile_severity' => '180'
},

How can I iterate through the hash of hashes to display the data as such:

James    disable
Bob    enable    180
Billy    enable    180
Stephanie    enable    180
