A function call is returning a struct that Data::Dumper says looks like this (I've elided some entries): 

{

I want to iterate over the entries and extract the BannerPath with the highest Rating for a given Season. What's the best approach? My solution feels a bit clunky... 
  my $hdata = <call that creates the struct>;
  my ($rating, $bwurl);
  my @keys = keys %$hdata;
  foreach my $id (@keys) {
    my $hr2 = $hdata->{$id};
    if (($hr2->{Season} == $seasonnum) && ($hr2->{Rating} > $rating)) 
+{
      $rating = $hr2->{Rating};
      $bwurl = $hr2->{BannerPath};
    }
  }
