Hi Monks!

I am trying to add new data to an array, but cant figure it out the best way, I am getting an error:

Not an ARRAY reference at code.pl

Here is a sample data and code, may be one of you can show me what the best solution.

Sample Data:
 $VAR1 = {
           Ad1 => '20 SOUTH CENTRAL  #B3',
           status => 'Property',
           City => 'NY',
           zCode => '0002',
           name => 'John D'
         };
 $VAR1 = {
           Ad1 => '15 SOUTH CENTRAL  #B4',
           status => 'Property',
           City => 'NY',
           zCode => '0002',
           name => 'John V'
         };
 $VAR1 = {
           Ad1 => '100 main St.',
           status => 'houses',
           City => 'BO',
           zCode => '0007',
           name => 'Mary'
         };

Sample code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;


use Data::Dumper;

 foreach my $row (@$data) {

if ($row->{ 'status' } eq "houses") {

    my $name  = $row->{ 'name' } || '';
    my $ad1   = $row->{ 'Ad1' } || '';
    my $town  = $row->{ 'City' } || '';
    my $zcode = $row->{ 'zCode' } || '';

     push @{$data}, {new_name => $name, new_ad1 => $ad1, new_City => $
+town, new_z_code => $zcode};

   }
   
 }   

print Dumper @$data;

Data results expected:
 $VAR1 = {
           Ad1 => '20 SOUTH CENTRAL  #B3',
           status => 'Property',
           City => 'NY',
           zCode => '0002',
           name => 'John D',
           new_Ad1 => '100 main St.',
           new_status => 'houses',
           new_City => 'BO',
           new_zCode => '0007',
           new_name => 'Mary
           
         };
 $VAR1 = {
           Ad1 => '15 SOUTH CENTRAL  #B4',
           status => 'Property',
           City => 'NY',
           zCode => '0002',
           name => 'John V',
           new_Ad1 => '100 main St.',
           new_status => 'houses',
           new_City => 'BO',
           new_zCode => '0007',
           new_name => 'Mary
         };
 $VAR1 = {
           Ad1 => '100 main St.',
           status => 'houses',
           City => 'BO',
           zCode => '0007',
           name => 'Mary',
           new_Ad1 => '100 main St.',
           new_status => 'houses',
           new_City => 'BO',
           new_zCode => '0007',
           new_name => 'Mary
         };
