in thread can't use certain hashnames when traversing a slightly complex hash

I'm always interested in the first entry of the files sub-hash.

Hmmm...     Again, and just for the record, the  'files' sub-hash (or any hash) can be said to have a 'first' element if and only if it has exactly one element. The only true ordering in a hash (or associative array) is the association between key/value pairs.
