(Guildenstern) RE: Can't access hash of hashes.

Shoot. So you mean that if I have my $a = \@b;, @{...} is basically useless? I understand that keys expects a hash. Does %{...} create an anonymous hash reference out of whatever's in the braces?

`$a=\@b;` [download] So $a is now a reference to a list. How do you access that list? `@$a` But of course, this kind of dereferencing can get confusing, easily typoed, etc. so you say: `@{$a}` It's all in perlref	[reply] [d/l] [select]

No, `@{$refToArray}` is the way to get the whole array when given a reference to an array. It just isn't called "forcing a list context". - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")	[reply] [d/l]
