Not exactly. Those are references. The difference in some ways is suble, but
the upshot is that you shold never try to do pointer aritmetic on references.

To access a hash element from a reference to the hash:
$hash_ref->{$key} or $hash_ref->{'My_literal_key_name'}
To access an array element from a reference to the array:
$array_ref->[0] or $array_ref->[$n]
