I had attached the file in question, I just forgot to mention as much >.<
However, this is irrelevant, as I found the solution to the problem. I did
not realized that attributes of type HashRef are apparently lazy by default
(*citation needed*). One way or another, for whatever reason, the HashRef
attributes do not seem to exist until I start populating them (meaning that
it's a bit more frustrating to use them if I don't want a default value...
Anyway, thanks for your help,
