perl howto push a hash onto an array

This could also be called how to make an arrays of hashes. The basic idea is to create a list of items that when iterated, returns individual hashes.

use Data::Dumper;
my @array;
push @array, {'key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2'};
push @array, {'key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2'};
push @array, {'key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2'};
print Dumper(@array);

Will give you:

$VAR1 = {
'key2' => 'value2',
'key1' => 'value1'
};
$VAR2 = {
'key2' => 'value2',
'key1' => 'value1'
};
$VAR3 = {
'key2' => 'value2',
'key1' => 'value1'
};


Snazzy!
