in thread Accessing variables in an external hash without eval

I still get an uninitialized variable for my @hashData.

Then it seems obvious that you're not loading a value with this line:

my @hashData  = $hash{Scope}{model};

Side note: This should probably read more like:

my @hashData  = @$hash{Scope}{model};

Never assume there is data where you expect it to be when it is coming from an outside source. Check it first. For example:

my @hashData = (); if (!defined $hash{Scope}{model}) { print "Scope and model missing!\n"; } else { @hashData = @$hash{Scope}{model}; }

...or something of that ilk.
