Re^3: Generation of Array of hashes by reading a file

[choroba]

$rec is not a hash, it's a hash reference. When you change the referenced hash, all references pointing to it see the new value.

my $hash_ref = {};
push my @arr, $hash_ref;
$hash_ref->{key} = 'value';
print $arr[0]{key};  # value

Thanks Choroba. That cleared my confusion around this.
