I'm far from being a true Perl monk, and here's proof. I've been trying to add a member to a MailChimp list, but keep getting a 400 Bad Request - 'This value should of type object' error. The thing is I don't know how to build the Perl object required. Here's what I've tried:

my $mailchimp = Mail::Chimp3->new(
    api_key => 'mykey'
);
my %merge_fields = (
    'FNAME' => 'My',
    'LNAME' => 'Name',
    'PHONE' => '760-720-0000'
);
my $response = $mailchimp->add_member (
    list_id  => '49ef108521',
    email_address => 'test@jmydomain.com',
    status => 'subscribed',
    merge_fields => %merge_fields
);

Obviously I haven't built the merge_field Perl object correctly. How should it be coded?

Thanks for the help!
