what is wrong in my code

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my %test1;
my %test2;
my $k;
(%test1,%test2) = &testsub;
foreach $k (sort keys %test1) {
 print " test1 $k $test1{$k}{'type'} $test1{$k}{'value1'}$test1{$k}{'v
+alue1'} \n";
}
foreach $k (sort keys %test2) {
 print " test1 $k $test2{$k}{'type'} $test2{$k}{'value1'}$test2{$k}{'v
+alue1'} \n";
}

sub testsub {
my $hasrows=0;
my %test1;
my %test2;

while ($hasrows < 5) {
    $test1{$hasrows} = {
       'type' => "type-test-$1hasrows",
       'value1' => "value1-test1-$hasrows",
       'value2' => "value2-test1-$hasrows"
    };
  $hasrows +=1;
}
$hasrows=0;
while ($hasrows < 8) {
    $test2{$hasrows} = {

Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!

Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.

Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.

Please read these before you post! —

• How do I compose an effective node title?
• How do I post a question effectively?
• Markup in the Monastery

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:

a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr

You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)

	For:		Use:
	&		&
	<		&lt;
	>		&gt;
	[		&#91;
	]		&#93;
