in reply to Remove similar key=value pair from HOH

Please wrap the output also in <code> tags, it's not readable

anyway this part

'par_global' => { 'err' => '99', 'err' => '20', 'FILE_READ' => 'fileB', },

doesn't make sense, b/c you can only have one key "err" , cause hash-keys are unique!

update

honestly I doubt the demonstrated output is really from your code, this doesn't make sense.
