It is possible:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my %config;
# each server info is a hash reference that contains the specifics of
# the server in question
my $server1_info = { ftpserver => 'localhost', ftpuser => 'steve' };
my $server2_info = { ftpserver => 'remote', ftpuser => 'dave' };
my $server3_info = { ftpserver => 'myhost', ftpuser => 'blah' };
# load the top-level %config hash with each server
$config{ server1 } = $server1_info;
$config{ server2 } = $server2_info;
$config{ server3 } = $server3_info;
# we have a hash (%config) who's keys contain another hash reference,
# (the server info) which in turn contains the server name and username
# print out server2
while ( my ( $directive, $value ) = ( each %{ $config{ server2 } } )) {
print "$directive: $value\n";
}
# fetch and print out just the server name of server3
my $server3_name = $config{ server3 }{ ftpserver };
print "Name: $server3_name\n";
