Nope, still does the same thing, sets $FDomainName->{WEBSPACE}= 'TRUE'. I'm still printing $FDomainName->{WEBFWD} and it still has its URL in it :)

Just for further clarification, if ( $FDomainName->{ WEBSPACE }  =~ /TRUE/ ) { foo } is how i'm checking to see if it's been set.

    hmm works for me: 
    #!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;

$_ = { foo=>1, bar=>2, baz=>3};
print Dumper $_;
print "Wahey!\n" if exists($_->{foo})

    is the variable being declared inside the loop, or outside in which case it may be retaining values.
