Yes... but unknowingly. You are trying to print what a hash function returns
($hash->function). The problem is that perl doesn't see it this way. It will just
print the data type of the hash variable (HASH(0x0000000)) and see everything
following the hash variable (->function) as normal text.
There are a few ways around this. The easiest two for you are
(a) Store the value returned by the hash-function in another variable before
you use it:
my $content = $request->content;
print "content: $content\n";
(b) Use the perl way of concatenating strings with '.''s:
print "content: ".$request->content."\n";
