to see what's going on in structured data types I strongly recommend the use of DATA::DUMPER. Just include the module into your source code and when you print the $jobs you just change your line to the following: print Dumper( $jobs{$key} ); The statement will print back the data structure with it's keys, instead of just giving you the data type and it's position in memory. Once you know which data key you want to access you can try the following: print $jobs{$key}->{$data_key}; Hope this helps. /oliver/ -- "If you believe everything you read, you better not read." -Japanese Proverb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
