in reply to Accessing variables in an external hash without eval

The hash you provided is not legal perl syntax. Try changing your original hash data to 
%hash = ( 
      #scope changes
      Scope => {
            model => [
                  'data I need',
                  'another row of needed data',
                  'more data I need'
            ]
      },
      IrreleventScope => {
          #don't need this stuff
      }       
);

    Thanks for catching my error but that isn't my actual hash it was only an example. I can't post the actual one but it does have a semicolon as well as the 1 at the end of the file.
