in reply to Re^2: share array of hashes between main program and thread
in thread share array of hashes between main program and thread

how could i add an additional single hash to a line i ($i) of my array of hashes

Do you mean: how can I add an extra key-value pair to one of the hashes in my AoH?

Assuming you do, like this: 

$Array[ $i ]{ newKey } = 'newValue'.

Once the reference is shared (or is a reference to a shared hash--same thing), adding pairs is just the same as normal. Because scalars, (keys and values) are shared by value. Only references are shared by reference.

    are the two command equivalent? 
    $Array[ $i ]{ newKey } = 'newValue'
$Array[ $i ]{ newKey }->'newValue'

      Not even slightly, as the latter is illegal syntax: 

      perl -mstrict -cwle"$Array[ $i ]{ newKey }->'newValue'"

String found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "->'newValue'"
        (Missing operator before 'newValue'?)
syntax error at -e line 1, near "->'newValue'"
-e had compilation errors.
