Hi Jean,
Try out the following. It should work
#! /usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
sub display
{
my $ref = shift;
foreach my $key (sort keys %{$ref})
{
print "$key = [";
foreach my $key1 (@{$ref->{$key}})
{
print "$key1,";
}
print "]\n";
}
}
my %hash1;
$hash1{'frog'} = ['jumps','swims','slimy'];
$hash1{'dog'} = ['barks','swims','hairy'];
display(\%hash1);
As someone had mentioned the module "Data Dumper" is really helpful. Even i am still learning and its really fun playing around with these references and derefences until you figure out what is happening. :)
Hope it helped

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
