hi ig , thaks for the attention. i really have tested what is inside the $incomedata. 
sub { #8test5


my $incomddata= $_[0]; 

return($incomddata);
}


i then call this sub and print the $incomdata in main script. i was ge
+t what a wanted. as i said before $incomddata is from a loop

so i was give a list of value when i print it out. it shows the data h
+as been sucessfully passed into $incomddata

here is another sub while it runs well. 
however i don't understand what is wrong 
with first sub. i really try to fix the problem 
of first sub as it is easy for me to format 
output data layout.



<code>
sub { # this sub is a workable 

# splits them up into stuff like "{name => 'name222',colour => 'yellow
+'}" 
my @split = (split /\Q},{/, $_[0]); 

my @loop; 
foreach (@split) { 
s/^{//; 
s/}$//; 
my $hash; 
my $hash1; 
my @tmp = split /,/, $_; # now lets split them at ', 

my @subloop; 

foreach my $tmp (@tmp) { 
my $hash; 
my ($name,$value) = split / => /, $tmp; 

$hash->{name} = $name; 
$hash->{value} = $value; 
$hash->{value} =~ s/^\'//; 
$hash->{value} =~ s/\'$//; 
push @subloop, $hash; 

} 
#$hash1->{name} = "subtotal"; 
#$hash1->{value} = "999"; 
#push(@subloop, $hash1); 

push @loop, { subloop => \@subloop }; 
} 

return { split_loop => \@loop }; 

}
