This question is a spin off of that was found in the last question I posted.

target_list is a hash I am using to determine my Unique Targets. If there is a better way of doing this please tell me. What am I doing wrong so that the only element that seems to be added to the @target_file array is the last element processed. The new pushs to the array are not adding the new @tfl_contents reference. Thanks again.

    open(tfl_file, $target_file_layout) || die "Unable to open target 
+file layout metadata file $target_file_layout: $!\n";
        foreach (<tfl_file>) {
            if($_ =~ /$ARGV[0]/){
                chomp $_;
                @tfl_contents = split(/\&/, $_);
                if ($tfl_contents[9] ne ""){
                    $target_list{$tfl_contents[9]}++;
                    push(@target_file, \@tfl_contents);
                }
                if ($debug eq "Y") {
                    print "Source Found in Metadata: $_\n";
                    print "Contents Array = @tfl_contents\n";
                    print "Contents Ref = @$tfl_ref\n";
                    print "Element = $tfl_ref->[1]\n\n";
                }
            }
            else{
                #Do Nothing
            }
        }
        print Dumper(\@target_file);
        sleep;
        @tfl_list = keys %target_list;
        if ($debug eq "Y") {
            print "TARGET_LIST = @tfl_list\n";
        }
    close(tfl_file);
