Interesting is that when I change the while-loop to:

while (1) {
    print $i++."\n";
    $data{'test'}{'test'} = $i;
    sleep 1;
}

it works fine. So it only creates new ones when I empty %data before I put data in there...
I think that's a bit logical but how do I tell it to not create a new one...or I'll set a flag in each hash-element to use it in the scripts or not....
