This is the code I am trying 

$pidEmpty = pp($tree->{drug}->{$i}->{'general-references'}->{articles}
+->{article});
    if ($pidEmpty eq "undef") {
    
    }else{
    $pidArray = $tree->{drug}->{$i}->{'general-references'}->{articles
+}->{article};
    }
    if (ref($pidArray) eq "ARRAY"){
    for $y (@{$tree->{drug}->{$i}->{'general-references'}->{articles}-
+>{article}}){
    if ((ref($y) eq "HASH")){
    #print pp($y);
    #print "\n";
    $pid = $y->{'pubmed-id'};
    print "$pid\n";
    $pids = $pids . "$y,";
    }
    }
    }else{
    $pid = $pidArray->{'pubmed-id'};
    $pids = $pids . "$pid,";
    }
    $pids =~ s/,$//;
