You almost had it. Just pass a reference to the hash to your function with \%hash. You can access the elements without dereferencing with the -> operator.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
sub display {
my $ref01 = shift;
foreach my $key (sort keys %{$ref01}) {
print "$key: $ref01->{$key}[0] $ref01->{$key}[1] $ref01->{$key
+}[2]\n";
}
}
my %hash1;
$hash1{'fruit'} = ['apple', 'orange', 'plum'];
$hash1{'vegetable'} = ['leek', 'carrot', 'peas'];
display (\%hash1);
foreach my $j (sort keys %hash1) {
print "$j: $hash1{$j}[0] $hash1{$j}[1] $hash1{$j}[2]\n";
}

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).
