When you have structures that have nested arrays or hashes which you want to dereference on the fly w/o using extra variable to store reference you can use special syntax:
%{reference_to_hash} and @{reference_to_array}
Next piece of code shows the common usage$struct = [1, 2, 3, {a=>1, b=>2, c=>[1,2]}];
%hash = %{$struct->[3]};
@array = @{$struct->[3]->{c}};
This is useful when you want to work with structures but not with their referencespush @{$struct->[3]->{c}}, (3, 4);
