Hi there Monks!
I am trying to add data to my an existing file and I can't figure this one out. It is adding the data I want, but with problems, one is that it is adding at he end of the file this "undef" stuff, I dont know why its adding it there. The second is, the value I need its been added, but I am getting this "Odd number of elements in anonymous hash at add_to_array.pl line 28." Here is the code with my issues.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use CGI qw(-oldstyle_urls :standard);
use Data::Dumper;
use Date::Format;
use Date::Parse;


my $q = new CGI;

$| = 1;

my @data;
my $today = get_timezone();

#set $Data::Dumper::Purity to 1 if you have nested references
#$Data::Dumper::Purity = 1;

open (FILE, ">data.txt") or die "can't open file: $!";

my $weather_data = do "data.txt";

 for my $w_data (@$weather_data) {
    push @data, \$w_data;
    
 }
push @data, {$data[0]{'xml_api_reply'}{'weather'}{'report_date'}->{'-d
+ata'} = $today,};
print FILE Dumper(\@data);

close FILE  or die "can't close file: $!";

sub get_timezone {

### Get our local time.

$ENV{'TZ'} = 'America/New_York';
$today = time2str( "%m-%d-%Y \@ %H:%M:%S", time);

}

The data:
