Ok, what's the problem with it? The $VAR1->{'13.704011,-89.247029'}[0] is (if I understand correctly) simply Data::Dumper's way of telling you that the first item in the array referenced by $VAR1->{'13.709931,-89.202365'} is the same item as the first item in the array referenced by $VAR1->{'13.704011,-89.247029'}. For example:

$ cat 887880.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

my $t1 = {a=>1, b=>2, c=>3};
my $t2 = {a=>2, b=>5, c=>7};

my %H = ( X=>$t1, Y=>$t1, Z=>$t2 );

$H{Y}{b}=11;

print Dumper(\%H);
$ perl 887880.pl
$VAR1 = {
          'Z' => {
                   'c' => 7,
                   'a' => 2,
                   'b' => 5
                 },
          'X' => {
                   'c' => 3,
                   'a' => 1,
                   'b' => 11
                 },
          'Y' => $VAR1->{'X'}
        };

If that's intended, then everything is fine. If it's not intended, then perhaps you're building $link incorrectly and re-using a hash, and overwriting your data as shown above. I can't see how you're building $link, nor how you're accessing the data, so I can't tell quite what your problem is.
