in reply to hash, deref & looping problem

Change all your %DataRatesHash->{} to $DataRatesHash{}.

%DataRatesHash-> is dereferencing a hash which is probably not what you want.

Update: Oops, look beyond the warnings to the actual result - you need to quote the numbers you are using as keys.

Perl is Huffman encoded by design.

    That resolves the syntax warning, but it is not related to his issue.

    His issue is that, he thought there is a key "2.0" in his original hash, but there is not, there is a "2". Adding quotes to avoid convertion, should resolve that.
