in thread problem with variables in hash values??

Bah! So using a variable there is not useful. Hopefully I'll discover another way to do this when I learn more. Well, at least now I know, so I won't spend hours trying to figure out how to make it work.

Thanks!!

    Consider a *reference* to a variable: 
    $magic=4; #same as 2*2 last time I checked ;-)
%items=(1 => \$magic);
print "1: ${$items{1}}\n";
$magic+=1;
print "1: ${$items{1}}\n";
