in reply to pushing onto array is not working as intended..

This line: 

                push @{$records}, %record;

[download]

...should be: 

                push @{$records}, \%record;

[download]

...as you have everywhere else.

Update: Actually, that's not going to do what you want either. Change them all to: 

                push @{$records}, { %record };

[download]

With what you have, you'll end up with an array of references to the same hash. You want to construct a new hash every time you push, and the above syntax will do that.

    Seems to me you fixed the wrong line in your update. I consider 
    %record = ();
...
push @{$records}, { %record };

    [download]
    much worse than 
    my %record;
...
push @{$records}, \%record;

    Yes, that's exactly what I wanted.
    The syntax is NOT second nature yet...

    Thank you very much!
