My basic question is how to print a hash key that will only be there in some records.
I thought the "if exists" might work but it clearly doesn't.
Um, your code fragment is incomplete, it does not demonstrate "if exist" not working
See Access Hashes of Hashes etc. and Re^2: Unique value count in hash not working properly $ perl -Mstrict -e " my $foo = { 1, 1 }; exists $foo->{1}{2} "
Can't use string ("1") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at -e
+line 1.

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).
