in reply to Recreating hash
The data you show has an error in it. There should be a ' following "(UTC)".
Assuming the code shown in the OP with the syntax error corrected:
my %hash = %$VAR1; print "At $hash{alerts}[0]{timestamp}: $hash{alerts}[0]{text}\n";
Prints:
At 1347395226: 95.019 (value) > 95 (max limit) between Tue 20:19 - +Tue 20:20 (UTC)
If that's not the help you wanted you'll need to be more explicit.
