in thread how to access hash key from the hash value when hash key is pointing to an array of hash values?

We-elllll...

Add some more data to the hash and you may well get a different "first found".

Indeed, this is the case when searching for the  NP_025 gene in the example.

I think the word 'first' has to be taken in the context of the word 'all' that is used in the example: "first taxon found containing the gene being searched for" versus "all taxons found containing the gene being searched for". Or something like that (waves hands). I would let the wording stand.
