Grygonos,
You have been bitten by the slurpy nature of things. You could probably just correct your problem by doing: 
my ($type, %results) = findResults();
#More code
return ($type, %results);

This is because things are passed back and forth between subs in flattened lists - how does it no where to stop with an array, start with a scalar, and finish with another hash?

As a side note - you should probably look into passing references around instead of full blown hashes and arrays if they are going to grow to any size. This accomplishes two things - everything is a scalar and there is no copying back and forth to speak of. Well three actually. The technique I showed only works if you have a bunch of scalars and then only one slurpy thing (array/hash). If you have multiple slurpy type thingies (love my technical jargon) - you have to use references.

Cheers - L~R
