Re: Preserving hash structure after subroutine call

It may be that the reference to the fetchrow_hashref is somehow losing scope outside the subroutine. I tried by faking your data in and it worked fine.

as for sugestions, I would just do

$href->{$ct} = $tmp_href;
#rather than 
$results{$ct} = $tmp_href;
[download]

that way you don't need to waste time and memory on a copy of the hash

Yes. I had used that variant earlier without the intermediate hash but with the same results. I used the intermediate hoping that the references would resolve to actual data during the assignment: `%{ $href } = %results;` [download] In my example I tried using Storable's dclone() which I thought replace the references with the real data, but apparently not. I agree that it has something to do with scoping, I'm just not sure how to solve it.	[reply] [d/l]

well... try `while(my $row = $sth->fetchrow_hashref() && my %row = %$row)` [download] or something similar. Copy the row hash. - Ant - Some of my best work - (1 2 3)	[reply] [d/l]
