my $array_ref = {};
push(@$array_ref, {});
The code above, which is part of your second example, gives an error because $array_ref = {} initializes your $array_ref to a hash ref which is not compatible as the first argument of push. It may be sort of symptomatic of your programming difficulties in that initializing $array_ref to a hash ref is confusing and just looks like code that is headed off in the wrong direction. I think your examples add more complication than needed and, for me, trying to simplify gives a result like:
use strict;
use warnings;
sub foo {
my %hash = ();
....
%hash = .... # key/values populated by some API
bar(\%hash);
}
sub bar {
my $hash_ref = shift;
my @arr_of_href = $hash_ref;
foreach my $i (.....) {
.... %some_hash initialized here for each iteration of the for
+ loop
push (@arr_of_href, \%some_hash);
}
zzz(\@arr_of_href); # zzz() will do something with this array
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
