in thread OO - problem with inheritance

Hello Frag,
thank you for your answer. I agree with you that I could solve my problem by copying the hash in ¶meter_config. But instead I go for ValidateNewParameter.

    by copying the hash

    Note that just copying the hash doesn't work for data structure you have used. Values of hash are hashrefs themselves so new copy will reuse parts of copied data structure. Thus changes in copy of data structure affect original data structure.

      Yes, I know. I have to iterate over each hash and make copies. A simple $ref1 = $ref is not enough.
      Thanks.

        When I want to do deep cloning I just use dclone from Storable. Works for data structures of any complexity. There is also exist module Clone.
