I have a hash in Perl which has been dumped into from some legacy code the name of the key has now changed from simply reqHdrs to reqHdrs.bla

$rec->{reqHdrs.bla}

My problem is now I cant seem to access this field from the hash any ideas? The following is my error

Download Script Output: Bareword "reqHdrs" not allowed while "strict subs" in use
