How to get a specific element of an array in Perl?

Question

Perl

The data is added to the array next. way:

my %thisData = (login => $thisName, pass => $thisPass);
push(@series, \%thisData);

I'm trying to iterate in a loop:

foreach my $el (@series){
  print %el{'login'};
}

But this design doesn't work.
Ideally, I want to get an array of hashes, and iterate over it, with the ability to get the first, second, and third value from the hash. How is this possible?

Answer 1

$el is a hash reference. It must be dereferenced before accessing the hash itself:

foreach my $el (@series){
  print $el->{'login'};
}

Answer 2

perl arrays do not have named keys
use hashes
