Hi Shachar,

First you can always use Data::Dumper:
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper($ref);

To make sure that the data is stored correctly.

In regard to your question:

my $ref;
my %hash = %{$ref};
foreach my $ptrelem (keys %hash) {
 my @array = @{$ptrelem};
 foreach my $item (@array) {
  print $item;
 }
}

From my experience with perl, doing shortcuts don't work too well, and
doing it the long way, helps with debugging and finding out what the
problem is.
