I think you need to do:
my %loginhash = {};
That's not right. {} is a hash ref, not a hash. It stands for a scalar value.
When you do that
my %h = {}
or, for the same result,
my %h = 1;
my %h = "abacate";
you end with a hash with one pair, whose key is the given scalar and
the value is undef.
See the output of
$ perl -MData::Dumper -e '%h = {}; print Dumper(\%h)'
$VAR1 = {
'HASH(0x10240170)' => undef
};
