in thread Hash Values into Array

You're manufacturing data that the OP hasn't specified or even hinted at. I don't think this is a good idea. Furthermore, you're not targeting the specific key (i.e. error) that the OP did specify; you are, in fact, targeting every key that exists.

You're right, Ken, but the OP did not provide any data, so I made some assumptions about the contents of the data structure. I quickly populated a nested data structure and tested the solution under the Perl debugger. The idea was only to show that using the values function rather than the keys function saved some typing and made the solution somewhat simpler.
