Why would the foreach change anything, its the same reference?

# ALL SAME
 dump(@$fldref[TXT]);


 foreach my $tmp (@$fldref[TXT]) {
    dump($tmp);
 }
 my ( $foobar ) = @$fldref[TXT];
 dump($foobar);

You probably want


 foreach my $tmp (@{ $fldref[TXT][0] }) {
    dump($tmp);
 }
[download]

When in doubt, show Data::Dumper output

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).
