Unable to store array as a hash value

Question

I\'m trying to store an array (not array ref) in a hash but it is treating the array in scalar context and only storing the last value of array in the $hash->{

Answer 1

$h->{'a'} = [ 'str_1', 'str_2' ];

You can only store scalar as a hash value, and scalar can be simple value or array reference.

Check perldoc.
