SPUG: each function won't recognize hash deref

The retrieve subroutine of Storable.pm returns a hash ref. But when I deref
the return value and pass it to the each function, perl doesn't recognize it
as a hash:
$data = retrieve("$sambadir/hitcount.dat");
while (($key, $value) = each($$data)) {
...
Type of arg 1 to each must be hash (not scalar deref) at hitsbyid.cgi line 41,
near "$data)"
syntax error at hitsbyid.cgi line 43, near "("
If this were C, I would throw in a typecast. Do I need to bless my hashref
somehow?
