wow ok then I will try and use the -> notation. No need to stay behind the times.
Just a couple of notes, someone already pointed out perlref, there is also:
perldoc perllol perldoc perlreftut perldoc perldsc
Which should give you a better handle on references. Depending on whether you are using the term 'pointer' in a truly technical sense or not may get you into trouble. A reference in Perl will not work *exactly* like a pointer in C might, the most important (at least to my understanding) difference is that you can't do arithmetic on them...
Finally when you get yourself in a bind trying to figure out what the hell your data structure *really* is use the help of Data::Dumper to visually see what is going on:
