Here I am assigning(push) a hash to an array of hashes. But when I print hash Its perfect. But when I push that into an array its changing. Here is my code. I also tried with escape('\') character.

$string = "column08=Submit & column10=Delivered & column09=Something" my @matches = grep defined, split / ([|&]) /, $string; $i = 1; foreach my $one (@matches) { if (($one =~ tr/=//) == 1) { my ($key,$value)=(split /=/,$one); %hash = (); $hash{'term'}{$key} = $value; push (@return_array,%hash); } else { push (@symbol_array,$one); } } print Dumper \%hash; print Dumper \@return_array;

Expected Output:

$VAR1 = [ 'term'=> { 'column08' => 'Submit' }, 'term'=> { 'column10' => 'Delivered' }, 'term'=> { 'column09' => 'Something' } ];
Thanks in Advance
