Re: Not able to assign a hash reference.

manipulates in a way it becomes a hash reference.

You wish. It doesn't do that. Your string is a string, its not a hash reference. Maybe if you use Safest Undumper of Data::Dumper you can get a real honest to goodness hashref

I don't understand the question eval is unsafe, it permits things like `system "rm -rf ~ / "` -- you're always getting more than a hashref If you only want a hashref use SafestUndumper	[reply] [d/l]
