in thread Returning hash reference from a sub

Hi, this won't work as you use the same keys.

$VAR1 = { 'names' => 'mary', 'names' => 'john', 'names' => 'Doe', 'names => '' };
Better try to make an array of hashes which would look like this:
$VAR1 = [ { 'names' => 'mary'}, { 'names' => 'john'}, { 'names' => 'Doe'}, { 'names => ''} ];
or
$VAR1 = { 'names' => ['mary','john','Doe','']}; ];

    $VAR1 = { 'names' => 'mary'}, { 'names' => 'john'}, { 'names' => 'Doe'}, { 'names => ''} ;
    }, {
