While defining a hash, the key and value pair must be in scalar context.
In your "Scenario 2:", the value of key2 must be scalar and NOT hash. You can use a reference to a hash by replacing paranthesis by a set of curly brackets to define a reference to a hash.
my %hash=(
key1 => value,
key2 => {
param1 => val1,
param2 => val2
}
);
Scenario 1 seems OK.
Now Autovivification:
Values:
$hash{key2}->{param1} now will be val1
It just like JSON of Javascript!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
