Hello, I am new here and noob to Perl too, I would like to ask for some help.

I have this piece of code(I think the full program is not necessary for the matter discused):

my $data=  (Dumper $res->valueof('//listPhoneByNameResponse/return/phone'));

That part of the program brings the following output:

$VAR1 = {
          'model' => 'Cisco 7911',
          'name' => 'SEP00229004C80A',
          'product' => 'Cisco 7911'
        };
$VAR2 = {
          'model' => 'Cisco 7911',
          'name' => 'SEP00229004C851',
          'product' => 'Cisco 7911'
        };
$VAR3 = {
          'model' => 'Cisco 7911',
          'name' => 'SEP00229004CC92',
          'product' => 'Cisco 7911'

I need to parse the output, to create a table. I could make a new program and process all the anonymous hashes, but is there a way to tell the "Dumper" function to bring only one value a time?

Something like this:

 print Dumper->${$VAR1}{"model"}; I think you got the idea. Any recomendation to parse a Data::Dumper output would be welcome. Thanks! I just want to say thank you all for your worthfull help. I just forgot about the Dumper module and made some modifications. At the end I just used the Text::Table module for practical purposes and it worked like a charm. Thanks again!
