Really close.

What your hash ends up looking like is:

%hash = (
          'one' => [
                     'abc',
                     'def',
                     'ghi'
                   ],
          'two' => 3
        );

This is because $hash{'two'} is being assigned the length of the array held in $hash{'one'}. (in the same way that $array_size = @array would assign $array_size the length of @array)

What I assuming you want is a hash that ends up like:

%hash = (
          'one' => [
                     'abc',
                     'def',
                     'ghi'
                   ],
          'two' => [
                     'abc',
                     'def',
                     'ghi'
                   ]
        );

which can be accomplished by something like so:
$hash{'two'} = [ @{$hash{'one'}} ];
