Hi,

At the top of your script you have 

my @array = (10 .. 12);
$source{'data'} = \@array;

... and then in the sub in question you have effectively 
    $data = 'data'; # via arg
    my @array = $source{$data} ;
    return @array;

First of all, why attempt to pass the array as a list? In general it's better to pass references around, like the one you stored in the hash. Just return the reference, and let the caller dereference and handle the list. You can dereference the result of the subroutine call, like this: 

push (@{ $hash{foo}{bar} }, @{ addSomeNumbersFromSource("data") });

Hope this helps!


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
