Update:

Or without references : my %hashIPs; $hashIPs{$ip} = { totalVulns => $ipTotalVulns, vulns => $vulns }; $hashIPs{$ip}{'region'} = $region;

    Clarification: $hashIPs{$ip}{'region'} = $region; is still using references. It's just that the arrow operator is optional between bracket subscripts, according to perlref.

    Update: And this is really nice when working with arrays of arrays, since they are then used as multidimensional arrays: $array_ref->[$x][$y] or $array[$x][$y].
