I am trying to print out a list of <option>'s from an hash of array references, but i keep getting the array reference instead of the elements of the array. Here is my code,

my @columns = (
  "Gender"
);

my %dataoptions = (
  "Gender", ["Male", "Female"]
);

for ($i = 0; $i < @columns; $i++)
{
  print $columns[$i].': ';
  foreach $option ($dataoptions{$columns[$i]})
  {
    print '<input type="radio" name="'.$columns[$i].'" value="'.$optio
+n.'"> '.$option.' ';
  }
}

The output from this code is;

Gender: <input type="radio" name="Gender" value="ARRAY(0x1bba2e4)"> AR
+RAY(0x1bba2e4)

Can anyone help me out here? Thanks.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
