The construct
%foo = { blah ... };
is wrong. a list inside curly braces { } evaluates to a *reference* to an
anoynmous hash. You need to enclose your list in parens ( ) to initialize a
hash. You either need to use:
$foo = { bar => 'baz' };
print $foo->{bar}; # note deref; prints "baz"
or
%foo = ( bar => 'baz' );
print $foo{bar}; # prints "baz"
