Hi hesco,

The problem is that you're trying to assign to a hash reference, but you're using parentheses "( ... )" instead of braces "{ ... }".

Try this instead: 

$test_subscriptions->{"test_case-$j"} = {
      'fname' => $lname,
      'lname' => $fname,
        'zip' => '02486',
      'email' => $email,
      'lists' => ['news','updates','vols-annc'],
}

Update:  Oh, and I'm betting that in your program, line 124 is the one containing 

$test_subscriptions->{"test_case-$j"} = {

[download]
because that's where I had to position the hash assignment to get exactly the same wording as in the error message you got.  But I don't know what's going on with your line 66: 
Can't call method "isa" without a package or object reference at line 
+66.

For that one, you'll have to give us more clues ;-)

s''(q.S:$/9=(T1';s;(..)(..);$..=substr+crypt($1,$2),2,3;eg;print$..$/
