Is it possible to filter on a hash/array?

  4 => { "item1" => 1234, "item2" => 4444, "type" => 1,  "reward" => 44444 }, # Ring
  5 => { "item1" => 1234, "item2" => 5555, "type" => 2,  "reward" => 55555 }, # Necklace
  );
  
{
	foreach my $key (sort keys %combine_1)
	## could be shortened: foreach (sort keys $combine_1)
	{
		if ($combine_1{$key}->{type} == 1)
		## if above shortened: if ($combine_1{$_}->{type} == 1)
		{
			my $itemlink = quest::varlink($combine_1{$key}->{reward});
			## my $itemlink = quest::varlink($combine_1{$_}->{reward});
			$client->Message(15, $itemlink);
		}
	}
}

?

^ this method is working great for what I'm trying to do. This should get my dialog responses down to 6-10 depending on the category, which is much better and I can filter further if needed.
