in thread Comparing Hash key with array

OK - I will try and get a complete data dumper set of the date. In the meantime this seems to be my problem: 
foreach my $key(keys %ret) {
    my $value = $ret{$key};    
    my @arr = @$value;
    print "$key\n";
        
    foreach my $u(@lines)
        {
        print "$key @$u\n";
        }
}

The first FOREACH (if on it's own will print out the correct amount of keys in the hash.
However, as soon as I add the second FOREACH (to enter the array) the keys get replicate the same amount of times the loop iterates.

    It isn't really necessary, simply type/copy/paste to make %hash (or %ret) look the way you want.

    Thanks, but I knew this much from your original posting, I can't infer your intent -- you use == to compare strings, and you switched from %hash to %ret
