in reply to Hash dereference breaks from 5.8.9 to 5.10.1
There was a bug in Perl where
${%$Hash_reference}
was equivalent to
${\%$Hash_reference}
instead of evaluating the hash in scalar context. Apparently, 5.8.9 suffered from this bug, but 5.10.1 did not. The proper syntax is
${ ... expression that returns a hash reference ... }{ ... }
so the following makes no sense:
${ %$Hash_reference }{ ... }
You should have been using
${$Hash_reference}{$values[0]} = \@values;
which is clearer when written as follows:
$Hash_reference->{$values[0]} = \@values;
