%hash = ( "key" => {"key1" => value} );To define a hash use () brackets the second hash is inserting not a hash but a reference to a hash so you use {} brackets. You refer to 'value' it as $hash{key}->{key1}. $hash{key} is a scalar contains a reference pointing to a hash (so $hash{key}->{ }) and the key is key1 (so $hash{key}->{key1}). Regards, Ben Marsh
You can also use $hash{key}{key1} = value; What notation you use is up to you.
