in reply to Pushing a 'hash slice' to an AoH

A "hash slice" is a list of values from the hash. It is not a hash itself. That means you have to use something a bit more than hash slicing to build the new hash you want to push on your array. It can be done in one statement... 
push @events,
    { map { $_ => $sqldata->[$i]{$_} } qw( col1 col2 col3 ) };

    Thank you Anonymous Monk (that monk gets around). Before the OP, I had tried using map, but was unable to get it to work successfully. Yours worked like a charm.
