That's because it should be tcl_defs, not tclDefs: 

my %my_tcldefs = %{$cliParms->{'tcl_defs'}};

EDIT: for the benefit of later readers and to avoid confusion, when I wrote this reply, the original question (since edited, apparently) indeed said tcl_defs.

    Hi Dave,

    that is not the reason. Original design is tclDefs and I'm sure I matched the name in original reference. I guess there maybe other reasons, but I can't find it. thanks.

      In that case I'm not sure. The following works for me: 

      #!/usr/bin/perl

use feature qw(say);
use Data::Dumper;

$cliParms = {
  'tcl_defs' => {
    my_var1 => 'a',
    my_var2 => 'b'
  }
};

my %my_tcldefs = %{$cliParms->{'tcl_defs'}};

say Dumper(\%my_tcldefs);

      Could you post the code that's currently failing for you?

      P.S. I'm not Dave (davido).
