Re^2: Add values to subroutine inside of a loop.

Yes, it overwrites the last key,value, but this is what I am trying to accomplish:

   $success = sent( {
               to              => 'send_to',
               account         => 'to_account',
               name            => 'name',
               subject         => 'subject',
               title           => 'title',
               
               link     => "/var/www/docs",
               name => "mydocs",

               link     => "/var/www/read",
               name => "letters",
               
               type     => 'docs',
               
                   });

`link => "/var/www/docs", name => "mydocs", link => "/var/www/read", name => "letters",` [download] That is not possible, because hash keys must be unique, so there can only be one key `link` and one key `name` in each hash. However, a hash value can be a reference to an array or another hash, which can hold multiple values - for example, the data structure `$added` shown in the OP could be a hash value. But which data structure is best here depends very much on the `sent` function, which you haven't shown us. Is this a function you've written yourself, or is it from an existing module? What data format does that function expect?	[reply] [d/l] [select]
