    are the two command equivalent?

    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.
