Unblessed reference in Perl

I am creating a PERL program to do some stuff with the British National Corpus.

I cannot use XML::Simple (for example), because the admin will not install packages for me, and not grant me enough rights to install it myself through CPAN.

The problem I face now is that I have two structs:
struct Token =>
{
        c5Type  => '$',
        lemma   => '$',
        word    => '$',
};

struct Sentence =>
{
        number  => '$',
        tokens  => '@',
};

And an array:
my @sentences = ();
and is filled with sentences and sentences are filled with tokens, according to the output of Data::Dumper:
$VAR1 = [
          bless( {
                   'Token::c5Type' => 'NP0-NN1',
                   'Token::lemma' => 'ba',
                   'Token::word' => 'BA'
                 }, 'Token' ),
...

But when I try to print such output myself, I keep getting the error that "word" is an unblessed reference. And I cannot figure out a way to solve it.

The code in which I use it:
foreach my $sentence (@sentences)
{
        print $sentence->number."\n"; # gets printed

        foreach my $token ($sentence->tokens)
        {
                print $token->word;
#               print Dumper($token)."\n";
        }
}

I really have no clue as to what to do, I tried everything from dereferencing (in all sorts of ways) to manually trying to print, but to no avail. Anyone got some tips?

Install the packages you need locally.

Go here: http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=128077
Scroll down to where it says: "I don't have permission to install a module on the system!"

Now go re-write that shit using the proper perlmods instead of trying to re-invent the wheel.


Furthermore, don't post again until:
1 - you stop being such a clueless llama.
2 - you Google for the answers to your questions first.

I'll try that.
Didn't really occur to me to try to install it another way.

For future reference, if someone as clueless as me gets the same problem, make it: foreach my $token (@{$sentence->tokens}).

But now that I have it working, I'll go do it properly. TY
