and this works
No, this not works:
my $data = {key => "THIS: "};
my $val = "HI THIS WORKS";
$data{key} .= $val;
print "$data{key}";
__END__
HI THIS WORKS
Why? cuz $data (SCALAR, may hold an anonymous hash) and %data (HASH) are different variables.
Read the perldata manual page. Seriously:
Read perldata.
update:
Reading perldata is not a waste of time. It saves you a lot of puzzling and doubts for time to come. Not reading it in turn wastes your and our time.
perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
