Monks,

I could really use your help. I am using a funky line in my code to store bad rows of log data: 

push  @{%Bad_Host_Rows->{dirname($row[1])}->{$row[0]}}, [@row];

row 0 = IP
row 1 = path
row 2 = date

When I make simple tests with this line, it works perfectly. However, when actually running it in my code I'm getting multiple $VAR1 values in Dumper for the same hashes.

Example: 

$VAR1 = {'/testdir/1000/200' => { '12.123.12.12' => [ ['12.123.12.12',
+ '/testdir/1000/200/index.php', '2004-05-25 00:33:30'],
['12.123.12.12', '/testdir/1000/200/index.php', '2004-05-25 00:33:31']
+] }};

$VAR1 = {'/testdir/1000/200' => { '12.123.12.12' => [ ['12.123.12.12',
+ '/testdir/1000/200/index.php', '2004-05-25 00:33:34'],
['12.123.12.12', '/testdir/1000/200/index.php', '2004-05-25 00:33:34']
+]}};

Why are my rows not being pushed into the same hash, but sometimes creating copies of themselves?

Thanks for your help.

edit (broquaint): tidied up formatting
