[EP-tech] Re: Modifying compound fields with eprint_fields_automatic

[sf2]

Hola Lizz, 

I would do something like: 

my $creators = @{ $eprint->value( 'creators' ) || [] }; 

... 

push @newcreators, { name => ... , etc }; 

... 

in your example you push an array-ref onto the array rather than pushing
a single record/row: 

push @foo, [ { ... } ] vs push @foo, { ... }
