Re: Confused about accessing hashes

[ambs]

First, your $VAR1 is a reference to a hash with only one key, so

$VAR1->{ETPT}

is needed. This one is another reference to another hash with only the key 'SERVER', so

$VAR1->{ETPT}{SERVER}

Now, this is a reference to an array. You want to get all responses...

$VAR1->{ETPT}{SERVER}[0]{RESPONSE}    # First element of the array
$VAR1->{ETPT}{SERVER}[1]{RESPONSE}    # Second element of the array

Probably you want to go for each element of the array like this:

for (@{$VAR1->{ETPT}{SERVER}}) {
   # here $_->{RESPONSE} is each response of the array
}

Hope this helps.

Eureka! That was perfect and I actually get it now. Thanks MUCH.

$data = $xml->XMLin ("good.xml");
.
.
.
for (@{$data->{ETPT}{SERVER}}) {
        print "$_->{IP}\n\t$_->{RESPONSE}\n";
}
