If $tmpEntry{'StartDate'} is ever repeated, you will always over write the date that
was in that hash key...
if you are wanting multiple entries for any key, do a push like so:
push @{$oncall{$tmpEntry{'StartDate'}}}, \%tmpEntry;
This will make a referenced array of hashes that you can iterate over...
