in thread Merging 2 hashes - updated again

According to perldoc -f each, you should not add keys to a hash while you are iterating over it in an each loop.

That's true, but the OP wasn't adding keys to the hash. He was modifying values. And that's perfectly save as the iterator iterates over keys, not values.

    And this brings up the question, why was the OP's code failing? Iterating over the inner hash is senseless, but it should work.
