You have to dereference the array ref and then you will have access to your 'args.' Look at get_events for an example how to dereference.

#!perl -w
use Data::Dumper;
$action = 'setup';
$filelocation = '.';

%formdata = (
'one' => 123,
'two' => 234,
);
my %functions = (
            "setup"  =>      
            {
            function     =>   \&get_events,
            args         =>      [\%formdata, $filelocation]
             },
);
$functions{ $action }->{function}->
(
    $functions{ $action }->{args}
);

sub get_events 
{
    my $ref = shift;
    my $hashref = $ref->[0];  # get \%formdata
    my $fileloc = $ref->[1];  # get $filelocation
    print "F:$fileloc\n";
    print Dumper( $hashref );
    print $hashref->{one},$/,$hashref->{two},$/;
}
