Error while printing hash table

[Anonymous Monk]

Hi please find below for the code.I am taking a date and getting the next three dates.Also i am assigning all these to a hash table and printing it

use Data::Dumper;

use Date::Simple;
#initializing the variable
$a[0]="2012-08-16";
$i=1;
$dateplus=$a[0];
#Getting next 3 dates
while($i<=3)
{
 $dateplus = Date::Simple->new($dateplus); 
 $dateplus++; 
 $a[$i]=$dateplus;
 $i++;
}

#-----Saving the next week dates in a hash table----------
%datesofnextWeek_var1 = ( "1"    => ["Sunday",$a[0]], 
                          "2"    => ["Monday",$a[1]], 
                          "3"    => ["Tuesday",$a[2]],
                          "4"    => ["Wednesday",$a[3]],
                          
          );

print Dumper %datesofnextWeek_var1;
@test=@{$datesofnextWeek_var1{2}};
print $test[1];

For print Dumper %datesofnextWeek_var1; m getting $a1,$a2 etc as bless( do{\(my $o = 15570)}, 'Date::Simple' ) but $a[0] is coming properly. Also from hashtable if m taking values i wil get it properly.Thr problem is while printing the entire hashtable.Please help.If you have any confusion in my question u can run the above mentioned code.Then it will be clear

Date::Simple->new() returns an object (a blessed reference). That object has overloaded mathematical operators, which is why you can use numerical operators on it. But if you want to print it, you need to use an accessor that stringifies it meaningfully, such as via the as_d8, as_iso, or as_string. You can even interpolate the object into a string. But your usage isn't doing that.

You've got to read a module's POD if you want to understand how to use it.
