in reply to Help With Parsing XML format / Hash of Hashes

OK, I played with it all day and seems to get some of the data out of those hashes by assigning variables as this: 
$result = $som->paramsall;
$result1 = $result->{'MisspelledWord'};
$nosuggestions = $result1->{'SuggestionCount'};
$mistake = $result1->{'word'};

$suggestion = $result1->{'Suggestions'};

I am unable to get to the $result1->{'Suggestions'} since there are so many values in it. Could someone please show me how to access this structure. Thanks.

    e.g., to access the second element of the array of suggestions, use 

    my $second_suggestion = $result1->{'Suggestions'}[1];

    [download]

    to get a copy of the entire array of suggestions, use 

    my @suggestions = @{ $result1->{'Suggestions'} };
