I have an array of objects. How can iterate though it getting the value of object properties to print or to use? I believe my referencing is wrong on this example. If the objects are replaced with anonymous hashes then this work. Objects are anonymous hashes so I don't know why this doesnt

package person; 
sub new { 
        my ($class) = @_;
        my $self = {  
            _id =>  undef,  
            _name   => undef,
            _scores => []
                    }; 
    bless $self, $class;

        return $self;
}

sub id{
     my ( $self, $id ) = @_;
    $self->{_id} = $id if defined($id);
    return $self->{_id};
    }
    
    sub name{
     my ( $self, $name) = @_;
    $self->{_name} = $name if defined($name);
    return $self->{_name};
    }
    
    sub scores {
        my ( $self, @scores )= @_;
        if (@scores) { 
            @{ $self->{_scores} } = @scores; 
            };
        return @{ $self->{_scores} };
    }

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;



my %hash= () ;
my $hash = undef,
my $node;
my @nodeArray= () ;


sub get_array_hashes { 
    
    
my $node = eval{person->new();} or die ($@);
   $node->id(1);
   $node->name('bob');
   $node->scores(['34','1','1',]);
   unshift(@nodeArray, $node ) ;

   $node = eval{person->new();} or die ($@);
   $node->id(2);
   $node->name('bill');
   $node->scores(['3','177','12',]);

  unshift(@nodeArray, $node ) ;

      

print "Test Array of hashes before return\n"; 
    for my $item (@nodeArray) { 
         print "Hash Value :  $item->{name}\n"; 
    } 


    return \@nodeArray; 
} 

my @one = @{ get_array_hashes() };  

 
#print "Test Array of hashes after return\n"; 

for my $item (@one) { 
    print "Hash Value :  $item->{version}\n"; 
}
