Using a hash as a reference is deprecated	Can't Post

Ok this is one of those errors that I am struggling to get rid of....

the error is pointing to this line of code ( the line with the %bad_files->)...

Code

 
if(@stuff != "0") 
{	 
	print "adding @stuff to Bad files\n"; 
	%bad_files->{"$current_dir"} = "@stuff"; 
}

Do I need use a reference to the hash to prevent the error?

replace % with $:

$bad_files->{"$current_dir"} = "@stuff";

You don't need and really don't want the quotes around the scalar, that is a bad habit to get into when writing perl code:

$bad_files->{$current_dir} = "@stuff";

the quotes around the array will turn it into a scalar which is what I assume you want.
