You can try this.
$test->{$setup}->{'data'} = [$data[0], $data[1]];
As you said reference is not going to work, if your array value changes at run
time. You can also access specific elements of the array individually, whenever
required.

Subject: Re: store Array in hash ?
Hey,
I think I am supposed to use a reference here ? If so I can't because
the data array keeps over written and reused again and again.
I guess I will come up with a different solution.
