accessing members of a class

i have written a class in the form of a hash. inside of that class, i have an array.
how would i print out the contents of that array? how would i modify 1 element of the array?

thanks in advance

I assume that you mean you have a data structure like this:

$hash = { item => [ 'arrayitem1', 'arrayitem2' ] };

To get a list of values for array 'item', you could use:

@vals = @{$hash->{item}};

To modify it, do this:

$hash->{item}->[0] = 'this';

Hope this helps...
