Humm, you are making 2 things wrong!

Take a look in this code:

package foo ;

my $bless = bless({},foo);
print "AS STRING: $bless\n" ;

print "AS REF: ". ref($bless) ."\n" ;

__END__
## OUTPUT:
AS STRING: foo=HASH(0x1a7f04c)
AS REF: foo

ref just return in what package the object is blessed or the data type of the reference. If you want to know if the blessed reference is an ARRAY, HASH, SCALAR... you can use:

  if ( UNIVERSAL::isa($bless , 'HASH') ) {
    print "mohhh\n" ;
  }

And forget the REGEXP for that!

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
