Hi,

I have a somewhat complex hash array, below.  I want to know how to
access individual items within the inner hash.

With the example below, say I need the SUBJECT:  $subj =
$SERVICES{'tactical'}->{subject};

However, say I need to get the COMMAND from the ALERT array with the
name SENDBUY.  The value I am looking for is:  trader.pl -B

But I am not sure how to turn the ALERT item into a hash so I can
access it by value, rather than by an array index.

Can anyone help??

%SERVICES = (
  'tactical' => {
    'service' => "tactical",
    'url'     => "tacticaltrader",
    'from'    => "Tactical Trader <tacticaltrader\@mail.com>",
    'mailer'  => "Tactical Trader Mailer",
    'subject' => "Tactical Trader Summary",
    'alert'   => [
       { 'name' => "GENERATE",     'html' =>
"sid=group_id=29&ctype=0", 'command' => "eod-trader.pl -t -M",},
       { 'name' => "GENERATEBUY",  'html' =>
"sid=group_id=29&ctype=1", 'command' => "trader.pl -t -B -M",},
       { 'name' => "GENERATESELL", 'html' =>
"sid=group_id=29&ctype=2", 'command' => "trader.pl -t -S -M",},
       { 'name' => "SEND",         'html' =>
"sid=group_id=29&ctype=0", 'command' => "eod-trader.pl",},
       { 'name' => "SENDBUY",      'html' =>
"sid=group_id=29&ctype=1", 'command' => "trader.pl -B",},
       { 'name' => "SENDSELL",     'html' =>
"sid=group_id=29&ctype=2", 'command' => "trader.pl -S",},
       { 'name' => "GENERATEINTRA",'html' =>
"sid=group_id=29&ctype=3", 'command' => "trader.pl -t -I -M",},
       { 'name' => "SENDINTRA",    'html' =>
"sid=group_id=29&ctype=3", 'command' => "trader.pl",},
    ],
  },
)
