How to push to an anonymous 3 dimensional array referenced in a hash

I am trying to "push" onto an anonymous 3 dimensional array whose reference is stored in a hash:

my %messages;
my $to = "To";
... later ...
$messages{$msg_id}{$to} = [ [], [], [] ];

which basically works, because Data::Dumper shows an empty 3 dimensional array.
My problem is I can’t work out how to "push" data onto this anonymous array!

I have tried many things, but realise I am just thrashing about. A couple of examples of my many failures!

my word = "something";
push(@{ $messages{$msg_id}{$to} }->[0], ( $word ));
Can't use an array as a reference at ./hash_array.pl line 53.

my @array = ( word1, word2, word3 );
push(\@{ $messages{$msg_id}{$to} }, ( @array ));
Experimental push on scalar is now forbidden at ./hash_array.pl line 54, near "))"

Any help appreciated!

>Solution :

You just need to move the ->[0] into @{...}.
The first argument of push must be an array, not a reference.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

my %messages;
my $msg_id = 123;
my $to = "To";
$messages{$msg_id}{$to} = [ [], [], [] ];

my $word = "something";
push(@{ $messages{$msg_id}{$to}->[0] }, ( $word ));

print Dumper \%messages;
