in reply to A better way for walking through HoHoH ?

Recursion to the rescue! :)
sub handleRefs { my ($target, $keys_ar) = @_; if (ref $target eq "HASH") { foreach my $key(keys %$target) { handleHashOrElement($target->{$key},[@$keys_ar,$key]); } return; } if (ref $target eq "ARRAY") { print "ARRAY at @$keys_ar is [ @$target ]\n"; return; } print "Value at @$keys_ar is $target\n"; } handleRefs(\%rez, []);
In reality, you'd probably pass in another sub reference which would be the action to invoke on the final values.

    Ok, so now it really feels like there is a method on an object waiting in the shadow here :D

    I will look at this code more closely when i can !
