print $test->dest->flags

Replace this with

print $test->{dest}->{flags}
[download]

print $test->{dest}{flags}
[download]

In Perl, the syntax you used is only for method calls, not for hash items. I know that in a lot of other languages the difference between the two isn't so large...

Is your variable `$test` or `%test`? The code is for `$test` (a scalar variable, containing a hashref). If it is `%test` (a hash variable), change the code to `print $test{dest}->{flags}` [download] or `print $test{dest}{flags}` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
