Hi, I'm getting a strange behavior within a function call, I want to print to the browser the value of a variable after passing it the value by a function. 

sub loadFabricantProperties {    
    local our $string;
    local our $fabricant = shift || '';
    local our $libelle = shift || $SERVER{'fabricant'};
    local our $enchere = shift || '';
    local our $encherereur;
    if ($enchere) {    $encherereur= $articleClass->getLastEnchereurDe
+tail();}
    $string .= "<tr><td align=\"left\">$libelle</td><td align=\"left\"
+><input type=\"text\" name=\"fabricant\" value=\"$ARTICLE{'author'}\"
+ onchange=\"validateInput();\"></td>$encherereur</tr>";
    return $string;    
}

it's print in my browser LoadProperties=HASH(0xa75ee00) for the value of $fabricant instead of the value Any suggestion ? Thanks
