in reply to Traversing a complex data structure searching for certain keys and printing their values

Hi

> I am calling this subroutine like this but I can't get it to accept passing @keylist to it.

changing

recurse_hash(\%$decoded_json_obj,"@keylist");

to

recurse_hash(\%$decoded_json_obj,@keylist);

should do.

And please, Perl has variable interpolation, so never put variables into doublequotes if you don't them to be expanded.Use single quotes!

HTH =)

UPDATE

> If I hardcode the key names like so it doesn't error and prints all all the corresponding values but they are all on different lines and don't match up.

I don't understand, could you show us the problem with your input?
