in reply to Accessing variables in an external hash without eval

The hash you provided is not legal perl syntax. Try changing your original hash data to
%hash = ( #scope changes Scope => { model => [ 'data I need', 'another row of needed data', 'more data I need' ] }, IrreleventScope => { #don't need this stuff } );
