help with scalar references

[Karthik Gurumurthy]

hi!

this is a simple program i wrote to understand references..

($a,$b,$c) = (\"1",\"2",\"3");

%hash = ($a=>"hello",$b=>"Perl");

foreach $key (keys%hash){
        $keyval = ${$key};
        print "$keyval\n";
        print ("The key is $$key and the value is $hash{$key}\n");
}


the output is:


The key is  and the value is hello

The key is  and the value is Perl

Why am i not able to print the key value using the reference?

thanks,
karthik
