The inner brackets are interpreted by the shell.
Can't help you there. My guess is you know
what you are doing in regards to the shell.

All seems fine.

I think you want:
$hash{$key} = $value;
What you coded pushes the $value onto an array
pointed to by $hash{$key}. You could get the values
back out with $hash{$key}[0] of course, but it's
pretty clear that's not what you meant.
