I'm not even sure I'm using the correct terminology, but here's the scenario. I'm looping through a series of ids to fetch MySQL records into AoH's, each of which must be pushed into a 'final' AoH for use in an HTML::Template loop. I kept getting the error:

Type of arg 1 to push must be array (not private variable) at searchnews.pl line 52, near "@shows)"

My code snippet

my ($stmt, $shows, $allshows);
   for my $i ( 0 .. $#ids ) {
      $stmt = "SELECT * FROM shows WHERE id = '$ids[$i]'";
      &execute_it( $stmt );   #sub that prepares and executes
        
      while ($shows = $sth->fetchall_arrayref({})) {
         push ($allshows, $shows);                        
      }    
   }

   print Dumper ($allshows);

I understand pushing elements into arrays, but can you push AoHs in to AoHs and how do I keep the reference status for the HTML::Template loop? Is this even possible, or is there a different approach? Thanks all.
