Insofar as I understand what you want to do, this might be one way:
Win8 Strawberry 5.8.9.5 (32) Sun 08/15/2021 14:00:28
C:\@Work\Perl\monks
>perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dump qw(dd);
my %current_main_record;
for my $x (qw(foo bar baz)) {
my $ar_role_records; # new array ref.
for my $y (qw(zip zap zop)) {
push @$ar_role_records, "$x:$y";
}
push @{ $current_main_record{'role_data'} }, $ar_role_records;
}
dd \%current_main_record;
^Z
{
role_data => [
["foo:zip", "foo:zap", "foo:zop"],
["bar:zip", "bar:zap", "bar:zop"],
["baz:zip", "baz:zap", "baz:zop"],
],
}
See
Perl Data Structures Cookbook.
Update:
... I am trying to add an array to a list ... an array of hashes.
Maybe this is closer to what you want:
Win8 Strawberry 5.8.9.5 (32) Sun 08/15/2021 17:43:06
C:\@Work\Perl\monks
>perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dump qw(dd);
my %current_main_record;
for my $k (qw(a b c)) {
my @role_records; # new array
for my $v (qw(Z Y)) {
push @role_records, { $k => $v };
}
push @{ $current_main_record{'role_data'} }, \@role_records;
}
dd \%current_main_record;
^Z
{
role_data => [
[{ a => "Z" }, { a => "Y" }],
[{ b => "Z" }, { b => "Y" }],
[{ c => "Z" }, { c => "Y" }],
],
}

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).
