push @BuySellHashref, { %{$hash_ref} };

[download]

This is what I'm having trouble wrapping myself around. I'm not sure I understand exactly what's happening in this snip, so I'll try to break it down the way I see it, and if I'm way out in left field, I'll get some feedback. 

%{$hash_ref}

[download]

This dereferences $hash_ref and then... 

push @BuySellHashref, { dereferenced $hash_ref }

[download]

This creates an anonymous hash containing the hash data from the dereferenced $hash_ref and pushes a reference to it into @BuySellHashref, which means instead of just having the original ref (or as in my original code a ref to a ref), I have a ref to an anonymous hash containing all the original data from $hash_ref.
