in reply to Re^5: Creating flexible method accessor
in thread Creating flexible method accessor

The problem with 'walking the path' is that there is no guarantee that the path will be: ->{hash1}->{hash2}->{hash3}
It could be any combination of hashes, hashrefs, arrays, arrayrefs -- which is why I wanted to pass a *string* rather than a list (array) of hash keys.
