Once again here is the new version of my new() method.
sub new {
    my ($self, $tn, $key, $value);
    my $class = shift;
    if ($_[2] =~ /^\d+$/) { # this suppose no %hash key is all numeric
        $tn = Telephone::Number->new(shift, shift, shift);
    } else {
        $tn = Telephone::Number->new(shift);
    }
    my ($smstext, %hash) = @_;
        $self = bless {
            'tn' => $tn,
            'smstext' => $smstext,
            'cookie_jar' => exists $hash{cookie_jar} ? 
                            delete $hash{cookie_jar} : 
                            "lwpcookies.txt",
        }, $class;
        @{$self}{keys %{$tn}} = @{$tn}{keys %{$tn}};
        @{$self}{keys %hash} = @hash{keys %hash}; #dragonchild suggest
+ion
    $self;
}

Now i have created a new Telephone::Number object (temporary namespace) cause i need it to do some dirty work parsing phone numbers... but this is not the point.
With the line @{$self}{keys %{$tn}} = @{$tn}{keys %{$tn}}; i got a copy of the values of $self->{tn} in $self, but that's not what i want. I'd like to have in %{$self} aliases to the hash variables in %{$self->{tn}} so that when i change $self->{some_key_from_tn} i change also $self->{tn}->{some_key_from_tn}
I hope i explained what i need, maybe just a bit confused.
Thanks for advice.
