You can't push onto a hash. The syntax @dirHash{$prefix} is a hash slice.
Q.E.D.
I'm not quite sure what you're trying to do. Is it that you may have
multiple items per prefix, and you want them all in the same hash element?
If so, what you want is more like the following. Caution - cold code
follows:
foreach my $item (@dirArray) {
$prefix = substr ($item, 0, 4);
push @{$dirHash{$prefix}}, $item;
}
