I'm going to have to wrap my head around ...
One way to go about that is to dump (see Data::Dumper; see also Data::Dump) the Perl object reference in stages, and from the inside out (i.e., top level to bottom):
print Dumper $obj->{'items'};
will show that you have a reference to an array. Then
print Dumper $obj->{'items'}->[1];
will show that one element of the array contains a hash reference. Finally,
print Dumper ${ $obj->{'items'}->[1] }{'name'};
will show the value of one key of the referent.
Update: BTW: the expression
${ $obj->{'items'}->[1] }{'name'}
is equivalent to the more concise and IMHO preferable
$obj->{'items'}[1]{'name'}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
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).
