[tpm] Breaking a string up into hash keys

Hi all,

   I've got a rather large, random-depth hash. ie:

$conf->{foo}{bar} = "a";
$conf->{baz} = "1";
$conf->{this}{and}{the}{other}{thing} = "what?";

   And so on. The number of hash keys can be quite varied, depending on 
the use.

   So now I want to be able to take a string that is in the format:

foo::bar
baz
this::and::the::other::thing

   Split on the :: and use that to pull the value out of the hash.

Any help would be much appreciated! :)
