In general, you don't. Obvious workaround - use a hash: my %hash_named = (hash1 => \%Hash1, hash2 => \%Hash2, hash3 => \ %Hash3); while (my ($name, $ref) = each %hash_named) { while (my ($key, $val) = each %{$ref}) { debug("$name: $key => $val"); } } Paul Lalli -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
