When I execute test.pl 

$VAR1 = {
          'comt4' => [
                     {
                       'bolinfpwd' => 'welcome'
                     },
                     {
                       'bolinfpwd' => 'welcome'
                     },
                     {
                       'bolinfpwd' => 'welcome'
                     }
                   ]
        };
