What kind of number format is this?

Using the function below in a perl module named LWP::Simple Module

head($url)

Get document headers. Returns the following 5 values if successful: ($content_type, $document_length, $modified_time, $expires, $server)
Returns an empty list if it fails. In scalar context returns TRUE if successful.

The function returns the line below:
HTTP::Response=HASH(0x10258a68)

What does this mean?

that's a reference to a hash.
that means that the data is stored in a hash, but you only get access to it by dereferencing it first.
consult the 'perldoc perlref' for more information on how to use these. "If you think you're too small to make a difference, try spending a night in a closed tent with a mosquito."
