It's a reference to an array.

According to 'perldoc Time::tm'
--SNIP--
       This module is used internally as a base class by
       Time::localtime And Time::gmtime functions.  It creates a
       Time::tm struct object which is addressable just like's
       C's tm structure from time.h; namely with sec, min, hour,
       mday, mon, year, wday, yday, and isdst.

       This class is an internal interface only.
--SNIP
So if you want to access the second element you can go
print $realaccess->[4];
   or
print @$realaccess[4];

which if I am reading the documentation correctly
should be the month.
