in reply to Re^2: Passing an array of hashes to a subroutine
in thread Passing an array of hashes to a subroutine

No, not quite. You would need to add something to clear the hash after it's pushed. 

my @array;
my %hash;
# ...
push @array, { %hash };
%hash = ();
# ...
push @array, { %hash };

But I don't like it. Since the natural progression is a loop, you've just advocated the following: 

my @array;
my %hash;
for (...) {
   %hash = ();
   # ...
   push @array, { %hash };
}

I much prefer the following: 

my @array;
for (...) {
   my %hash;
   # ...
   push @array, { %hash };
}

    Not necessarily: one may want to clear it, or to modify some entries. Who knows?

    my @array;
my %hash=(foo => 2, bar =>3);
for (1..4) {
    push @array, {%hash};
    %hash=(%hash, map { +"$_^2" => $hash{$_}**2 } keys %hash);
}

    I hadn't understood we were talking about a loop, in which case you're perfectly right, and I never imagined of having advocate what you claim I did.
