RaFaL has answered the question you asked, but it should be mentioned that
you are not using symbolic references in your code. \%hash is a hard
reference.

$hash is a hash reference, right? Then try:
$hash->{$key} = $value;

i must be missing the point, but why are you using prototyped subroutines to
populate a hash ref?
what's wrong with:
my $href = {
foo => 'quux',
bar => [ qw( bleh yuck) ],
};
or
$href->{'baz'} = { foo => 'bar' }
?
