Seems odd. I would expect that both approaches use the very same Windows 
API function. Are you sure you're looking at the same file ?

Suggests to me that your %Info should have a key named 'File'. Is that 
the case ? If so you just have to get the values of the keys of the 
subhash (a hash reference, presumably) at $Info{'File'}.

my %deref = %{$Info{'File'}};
for $k(keys %deref) {print $k, " : ", $deref{$k}, "\n"}

Hth.

Cheers,
Rob
