Re^2: Add array ref to another array ref

[Anonymous Monk]

I am getting confused with the data types.
I did a data dumper on $data_b and got this:

$VAR1 = [
          {
            'house'   => 'main',
            'number'  => '0123',
            'area'    => 'north',
            'code'     => 'zip',
          };
         ]

And on $data_a was this:

$VAR1 = {
          'fullname' => 'Ms Mary Lou',
          'first'    => 'Mary',
          'last'     => 'Lou',
        };

When you see the square brackets [], that's an arrayref (a reference to an array). When you see braces {}, that's a hashref (a reference to a hash).

So the first VAR1 that you see is an arrayref with a single element, which is a hashref. The second VAR1 is just a hashref.
