[mh] Problem with timer variable

I am by no means an expert in perl but I have managed to get by OK with 
mh for about 20 years. I only use a small portion of misterhouses 
capabillities but I vary much appreciate it's incredible flexibility.

I'm having a problem with some code I have written that I do not understand.

In my code I have a hash of motion sensors which points to hashes of 
each room, I would like to use:

     set $MotionSensors{$SensorID}{timer} $MotionSensors{$SensorID}{occupied_time}, $MotionSensors{$SensorID}{timer_cmd};

but get the error:



Error in user code file ./../data/mh_temp.user_code

   11/26/18 09:52:10 PM: syntax error at (eval 1086) line 4695, near "$MyMotionSen{"

Line 4691:
Line 4692:  # print "set $MyMotionSen{$SensorID}{timer} $MyMotionSen{$SensorID}{occupied_time} $MyMotionSen{$SensorID}{timer_cmd} \n";
Line 4693:      eval ($MyMotionSen{$SensorID}{action});
Line 4694:
Line 4695:      set $MyMotionSen{$SensorID}{timer} $MyMotionSen{$SensorID}{occupied_time}, $MyMotionSen{$SensorID}{timer_cmd};
Line 4696:  }
Line 4697:
Line 4698:      if ( $MyMotionSen{$SensorID}{name} eq $MyMotionSen{$Lastsensor}{name} )
Line 4699:      {




However the following code works fine:


     $timer            = $MotionSensors{$SensorID}{timer};
     set $timer $MotionSensors{$SensorID}{occupied_time}, $MotionSensors{$SensorID}{timer_cmd};
  
  

Could someone explain to me what I am doing wrong? Thank You Paul
