in reply to Send hash of hash arguments to sub

Can't be done, you can only send references

Basic debugging checklist item 4 ( Dumper ) 

my( %hashgetsthemall, $two, $eleven ) = 1 .. 11;
dd \%hashgetsthemall, $two, $eleven ;
__END__
(
  { 1 => 2, 3 => 4, 5 => 6, 7 => 8, 9 => 10, 11 => undef },
  undef,
  undef,
)

    my( %hashgetsthemall, $two, $eleven ) = 1 .. 11;

    my( $one, $two, %hashgetstherest ) = 1 .. 12;

    is one way to do it if you wanted copies of the values anyway.
    The list variable must come last though, and there can be only one.

      update:

      In the OP's example that is:

      my ($source, $target, %hash) = @_;
