Hi guys,

I am creating a hash to store my servers. Here is my hash example:
push(@ { $array{examplesite}{'App-servers'}{'Application Server'}{'External IP'} },'test');
push(@ { $array{examplesite}{'App-servers'}{'Application Server'}{'External IP'} },'test1');
push(@ { $array{examplesite}{'App-servers'}{'Database server'}{'External IP'} },'test1');

I am able to get external ip printed by doing this:
for $item ( @ { $array{examplesite}{'App-servers'}{'Application Server'}{'External IP'} }){

print $item;

}

But I have to specify 'Application Server' within my for query, I would like to print everything after {'App-servers'} so I can see database servers as well as app-servers. Any suggestions how I can do that ?
 
Like this?

Code:
[olive][b]foreach[/b][/olive] [blue]$key1[/blue] [red]([/red] [url=http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/keys.html][black][b]keys[/b][/black][/url] [blue]%[/blue][red]{[/red] [blue]$array[/blue][red]{[/red][purple]examplesite[/purple][red]}[/red][red]{[/red][red]'[/red][purple]App-servers[/purple][red]'[/red][red]}[/red] [red]}[/red] [red])[/red] [red]{[/red]
        [olive][b]foreach[/b][/olive] [blue]$key2[/blue] [red]([/red] [black][b]keys[/b][/black] [blue]%[/blue][red]{[/red] [blue]$array[/blue][red]{[/red][purple]examplesite[/purple][red]}[/red][red]{[/red][red]'[/red][purple]App-servers[/purple][red]'[/red][red]}[/red][red]{[/red][blue]$key1[/blue][red]}[/red] [red]}[/red] [red])[/red] [red]{[/red]
                [olive][b]for[/b][/olive] [blue]$item[/blue] [red]([/red]  [blue]@[/blue][red]{[/red] [blue]$array[/blue][red]{[/red][purple]examplesite[/purple][red]}[/red][red]{[/red][red]'[/red][purple]App-servers[/purple][red]'[/red][red]}[/red][red]{[/red][blue]$key1[/blue][red]}[/red][red]{[/red][blue]$key2[/blue][red]}[/red] [red]}[/red][red])[/red][red]{[/red]
                        [url=http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/print.html][black][b]print[/b][/black][/url] [red]"[/red][purple][blue]$item[/blue][purple][b]\n[/b][/purple][/purple][red]"[/red][red];[/red]
                [red]}[/red]
        [red]}[/red]
[red]}[/red]

Actually one more question, what If I also wanted to loop through examplesite. I tried following code but it's not working, I would also like to print the name of the site along with application server and Ip address


push(@ { $array{examplesite}{'Application Server'}{'External IP'} },'test');
push(@ { $array{examplesite}{'Application Server'}{'External IP'} },'test1');
push(@ { $array{examplesite}{'Database server'}{'External IP'} },'10.0.0.1');

foreach $key1 ( keys %{ $array } ) {

foreach $key2 ( keys %{ $array{$key1} } ) {
foreach $key3 ( keys %{ $array{$key1}{$key2} } ) {
for $item ( @{ $array{$key1}{$key2}{key3} }){
print $item->{ $array{$key1}{$key2}{$key3}};
print "$item\n";
}
}
}

}
 
Use foreach $key1 (keys %array) since you are referring directly to the hash, not indirectly. Also, "array" isn't a very good name for a hash!

You have key3 where it should be $key3.
