Re: Preserving hash structure after subroutine call

in reply to Preserving hash structure after subroutine call

May be you can follow this simple example and try modifying to see where you are getting the problem:

use Data::Dumper;
my %myhash = {};
build_hash(\%myhash);
print Dumper(\%myhash);

sub build_hash {
    my $href = shift;
    my %results = (1,2,3,4);;
     %{$href} = %results;
#    print Dumper($href);
}

I've used the method in your example extensively to initialise hashes and never had any problem with it. For some reason (scope?) it just doesn't seem to work when the fetchrow_hashref method is involved.	[reply]
