Subject: Simple HASH query


Hi,
I am using bioperl to get the primary id of a protein out of a flat file 
as
follows:

while ($seq_obj = $seqio_obj->next_seq){
my $primary_id = $seq_obj->primary_id;
print $primary_id;
}
exit;
However, this returns:
Bio::Seq::RichSeq=HASH(0xa1a1b7c)
I suspect that your flat file does not contain sequence with *primary_id* 
in it.
From bioperl 1.4: => look for ** below,
Title   : primary_id
Usage   : $unique_key = $obj->primary_id;
Function: Returns the unique id for this object in this
          implementation. This allows implementations to manage their
          own object ids in a way the implementaiton can control
          clients can expect one id to map to one object.
          ** For sequences with no natural primary id, this method
               should return a stringified memory location.
Returns : A string
Args    : A string (optional, for setting)

How do I get the actual value I want out of the hash?
Thanks
