Re^4: Add array ref to another array ref

I did a data dumper on $data_b and got this:

$VAR1 = [
          {
            'house'   => 'main',
            'number'  => '0123',
            'area'    => 'north',
            'code'     => 'zip',
          };
         ]

And on $data_a was this:

$VAR1 = {
          'fullname' => 'Ms Mary Lou',
          'first'    => 'Mary',
          'last'     => 'Lou',
        };

As shown by its data dumper output, `$data_b` is a reference to an array. The referenced array has a single element: a reference to a hash with four elements as shown. Assuming a successful operation to merge the contents of the hash referenced by `$data_a`, what would you then want the data dumper output of `$data_b` to look like?
