in reply to Problems passing hash reference

sub make{ my ($self,$arg) = @_; if (ref $arg eq 'ARRAY'){ foreach my $t (@{$arg}){ if (ref $t eq 'HASH'){ _ss($t) }; } } } sub _ss { my ($self, %arg) = @_; print Dumper(\%arg); }

You probably mean

$self->_ss($t)

since in sub _ss() you are shifting away the first argument into $self.
What happens next? You assign the arguments to a hash, but in the calling code you just pass a single reference, not a key/value pair. So your hash reference ends up as a stringified key in %arg with no value attached.
