This sounds highly overcomplicated... must you use Tie::IxHash? Could
you possibly use something else? If you *must* use Tie::IxHash, you
can do something like:
use Data::Dumper;
use Tie::IxHash;
my $h = Tie::IxHash->new(
table => 'blog',
column1 => 'first_name',
column2 => 'last_name',
column3 => 'email',
column4 => 'password',
column5 => 'active',
);
# this shows you the internal structure
print Dumper($h);
# this seems broken...
print "$_\n" for keys %$h;
print '-'x20, "\n";
# this should do what you want
# breaks encapsulation tho
print "$_\n" for @{$h->[1]};
