%hash->{$key} and @array->[$idx] are syntaces that you should not use.
The fact that they work is due to intricacies of the Perl parser.
Similarly, %{$hashref}->{$key} and @{$arrayref}->[$idx] are equally bad.
Use $hash{$key} and $array[$idx] for normal hash and array access.
When using hash and array references, you have two choices:
$hash->{$key} and $array->[$idx], or $$hash{$key} and $$array[$idx].
Thanks Japhy
Both $hash->{$key} and $$hash{$key} work fine and this also works
Although I'm not sure why.... ${$hash}{$key}.
I seem to have a lot of problems with the perl language in that there
are so many ways to accomplish (express) the same thing.... A wonderful
feature but sometimes confusing as hell (to me at least).
Anyway thanks again - Problem solved! No more error messages.
Best regards
