I would like to generate a hash of hashes from ldap data. 

my %hoh ;

my $rec = {
                DN => $dn,
                MAIL => $mail,
                MEMBERS => [ @members ],
                PROXYADDRS => [ @email_addrs ],
};

$hoh{$dn} = $rec;

But the hoh is not getting filled, if I print it with Data::Dumper I get an empty $VAR1. I must be doing something very stupid, but I do not see exactly what. Ok, let's show a bit more code :-).

Like I said, I query a ldap server with the Net::LDAP module. This works perfectly 

my %hoh ;

while ( my $entry = $search_ad->pop_entry() ) {
        my $displayname = $entry->get_value('cn');
        my $dn          = $entry->get_value('distinguishedname');
        my $mail        = $entry->get_value('mail');
        my @members     = $entry->get_value('member');
        my @email_addrs = $entry->get_value('proxyaddresses');

        # fill @ad_enabled
        push @ad_mail_enbld_groups, lc $mail;

        my $rec = {
                MAIL => $mail,
                MEMBERS => [ @members ],
                PROXYADDRS => [ @email_addrs ],
       };

       $hoh{$dn} = $rec;

    }

If instead of a %hoh I push the $rec to an array referecence, it works. But I would rather have a hash of hashes to simplify a bit the code.

If I Dumper $rec, I can see the hash perfectly with the right values coming from the ldap server ..., grrr, tomorrow another go, time for bed.

ok, solved it. Indeed, operator error :( I was printing the wrong (empty) variable. Sorry for the noise.
