in reply to Extracting a hash reference from a string

I strongly discourage the idea to fiddle with c pointers thru Perl.

Perl is a high level language, so use it as a high level language, and leave all the low level details to Perl.

To deal with addresses and pointers directly, would most likely cause more problems.

    This non-answer is not helpful. While I don't disagree with you in principle, I need to know what I can do; not what I shouldn't do.
