My mistake, this should be:
$ssns{'123-43-4352'}{'hobbies'}[0][2];
The 'H3' hobby is on the third -line-, but on the first -hobby- line.
See:
Name ,123-43-4352, JX, 1234
Sports,123-43-4352, SKI, BaseBall, swimming
Hobbies, 123-43-4352, H1,H2, H3
Hobbies, 123-43-4352, HH, HHH, HHHH2
Hobbies,123-43-4352, H1,H43

No, you'll need to change your hobbies foreach statement:
print " Hobbies are:\n ";
foreach (sort @{$ssns{$_}{hobbies}}) {
print join(" ", @$_), " ";
}
Now $ssns{$_}{'hobbies'} is a list of lists, so you have to handle it as
such.
