in thread How do I stop printing a hash value

Thanks for all your help.The following works for me. 

        if (scalar @$value) 
            { # check that the arrayref isn't empty
                            my @arr = grep(!/^\/\*/, @$value);
                print "\n ", join(", ", @arr), "\n\n";
            }
