It looks like you are not using 'use strict' in your script, if you did you would get errors as 'true' and 'false' have no special meaning in Perl:

use strict;
use warnings;
my %groups = (
    'GroupID1' => true,
    'GroupID2' => false
);
[download]

Errors:

Bareword "true" not allowed while "strict subs" in use
Bareword "false" not allowed while "strict subs" in use
[download]

Your hash will be turned into a JSON structure before it is sent to MailChimp, and the way to represent JSON true and false in a Perl hash is:

my %groups = (
    'GroupID1' => \1,
    'GroupID2' => \0
);

Maybe try that and see.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
