Accessing A Hash

Accessing an element that doesn't exist returns undef

print "Homer is a $jobs{"homer"}\n"; # Most common way

print "Bart is a $jobs{bart}\n"; # quotes usually optional

print "Lisa is a $jobs->{lisa}\n"; # Arrow operator

# Called a "Reference"

Accessing individual elements is done with subscripts:
