Sorry guys I still can't get this working. I all tried all the examples. This is a small sample of the data that is dumped via data::dumper 

$VAR1 = 'tag';
$VAR2 = {
       'dev' => [
                 {
                   'nfsmount' => {
                                  'bigstor_nfs' => {

I am putting all of this data into a hash but when I print the keys in the hash all I can print out is 'dev' and 'tag'. I want to get past the point where the right [ bracket is (which is array called 'dev'). Below 'nfsmount' I have about 50 different hashes defined, one of which is called 'bigstor_nfs'. I want to be able to search through all the available hashes and depending on what the name of the hash is I then want print out all the key/values contained within each hash and output this to another file.
