in thread WURFL web browsers patch and XML::Simple

I can't see how that would ever work. for my $browser (%hash) iterates over both keys and values of the hash.

Since the keys are always strings, I can't see how $browser->{user_agent} works.

Did I miss something here?

    Ah, ok. So what I need to do to make it work is:

    foreach my $browser ( %{$data->{devices}->{device}} ) { print "$data->{devices}->{device}->{$browser}->{user_agent}<br>"; }

    I think that is an improvement on where I started as it goes into the heart of the data structure rather than disassembling it. However perhaps there is more that can be done?

    Update:The inclusion of values in jethro's update effectively fixes the problem, the solution direct and concise.
