I think I figured out one thing from my earlier message:
----------------------------
print '$template{uname}{ross} =' , $template{uname}{ross}, "\n";
#$template{uname}{ross} =ARRAY(0x20f41d8)
# I'm still surprised this worked. Somehow we've gone 2 levels down with one $.
print '${$template{uname}}{ross} =' , ${$template{uname}}{ross}, "\n";
#${$template{uname}}{ross} =ARRAY(0x20f41d8)
# and thought this syntax was necessary
-----------------------------------------------
I think the first one works because it is implicitly converted to
$template{uname}->{ross}
which is equivalent to the second version. The reference tutorial doesn't
mention that this trick works with hashes that I could see.
