This is a Perl syntax problem.  You're passing a local hash (%sample)
when you should be passing a hash reference.  You can fix this in
either of two ways:

Use a scalar to hold the hash reference:

    $sample = { .... };
     return { 'mortHash' => $sample };

or pass a hash reference to your local hash:

    %sample = ( .... );
    return { 'mortHash' => \%sample };

Note the \% to get the reference to the hash and the use of { } for an
anonymous hash vs. ( ) for a list assignment to the local hash.

Check out the Perl docs on 'perllol', 'perlref', and 'perldata'.
