Hi Monks!
I have this code structure and after passing the data to the sub routine “test” inside of the module, I am trying to accesses the items in the arrays, but I am getting an error saying that this is not a has reference.
What is the correct syntax to access each element once it gets passed to the sub without a loop?
Here is a sample that shows what I am trying to do: 

 use strict;
 user warnings;
 use info;
 use Data::Dumper;
 ...

foreach my $in (@{$data{$key}}) { 

   push @data , {
           name   => $in{$key}[0]{ name },
           add    => $in{$key}[0]{ add },
                   street => $in{$key}[0]{ street },
                   city   => $in{$key}[0]{ city },
                   zip    => $in{$key}[0]{ zip },
           state  => $in{$key}[0]{ state },
                
         };
 }
...

# Call info.pm and send data.

  info::test(\@data);

...

# End data.pl file




...
# file info.pm

...

package info;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

...

sub test{

 my ($test_data) = @_;

 print Dumper $test_data->{name};
 

 }

1;
