Many thanks to everyone who replied to my RE scoping problem. I have been able
to simplify my code considerably. Much appreciated.

I have a data structure like this (this is simplified - each image has many
fields):

$database = {

              imagedata => {
                           'image1'  =>  {
                                            'filename'  => [ 'foo.gif' ],
                                         },
                           'image2'  =>  { 
                                            'filename'  => [ 'bar.gif' ],
                                         },
                           'image3'  =>  {
                                            'filename'  => [ 'foobar.jpg' ].
                                         }
                           }
            };

I am extracting the filename for each image using:

foreach $id ( keys %{ $database->{ 'image' } } ) {
        push @filenames, $database->{ 'image'}->{ $id }->{ 'filename' }[ 0 ];
}

Is there any way I can generate a list of filenames without using a foreach
loop? I feel I should be able to access it by referring the the keys of the
imageX hash as a list, but I can't get my head around the syntax.

TIA,

Richard
