$VAR1 is HoH = Hash of Hash.
$VAR2 is AoHoH = Array of Hash of Hash.

Trying explain. Please correct me if i am wrong. It seems like Sami is trying to merge two hashes. $VAR1 is within HASH and $VAR2 is within ARRAY but no changes to its' key value. This code is to explain only. it's not perfect.
my %joined_FS; my %outer_keys; for my $var (($VAR1, $VAR2)) { if (ref $var eq "HASH") { while (my($key, $value) = each %$VAR1) { $outer_keys{$key} = $value; } } elsif (ref $var eq "ARRAY") { for my $href (@$var) { my @unq_keys = keys %$href; for my $key (@unq_keys) { if (!exists $outer_keys{$key}) { $outer_keys{$key} = $href->{$key}; } else { while (my($k, $v) = each %{$href->{$key}}) { $outer_keys{$key}->{$k} = $v; } } } } } } print Dumper \%outer_keys;
