Hi Sridhar! Please take a look at the smart match operator. As you can see, 'item' ~~ \@array returns true if the 'item' exists inside the array passed as an array reference.
Your code doesn't work because $_->{bill} is a reference to an array, so what you are actually trying is something like this: 'ARRAY(0x886b7f8)' =~ /1117/; (i.e.: return true if the left side contains the substring from the right side).
Of course, if you're trying to match a substring inside an array, you can use: grep { qr/1117/ ~~ $_->{bill} } @array; | [reply]

Hi Trizen,
I have one question regarding access of the perl hash key which is an array reference like below i have an hash
my $all = {'text' => [ 'HJ0039_x.pdf' , 'HJ0039' , 'HJ0039' ]};
To access the above elements i can use two ways like below
print " $all->{text}[0] ;
and
print "${$all->{text}}[0]
can you please explain me clearly what is the difference between the above two methods , without de-referencing the array how we are able to access the array elements
Thanks

Hello Ragilla,
The code $all->{text}[0] is equivalent with $all->{text}->[0]. This implies an implicit dereference. Similar with $array_ref->[0].
In the second code, ${$all->{text}}[0] is similar with $array[0], because $all->{text} is an ARRAY REF, and @{ARRAY_REF} is similar with @array, which can lead to ${ARRAY_REF}[index].
