aye great tip Ant,

I got for every key before I call the subroutine the correct value of the Hash. eg.

1234
HASH(0x403aab28)

but when I repeat this statement in the subroutine I receive nothing, completely nothing, how odd...

sub Show_analyst_row
{
my(%analyst_record)=%{@_};
print STDERR (join "\n", %analyst_record);
}
[download]

above code generates nothing, I would think ther is something wrong in receiving the reference no?

Any idea's?

Thanks for looking
Merlijn
