hi,
I have very weird problem, or i'm too stupid..so, 
diff myprog myprog.new
276a266
>       my $xx = $db[$vars{_recNo}]{'name'};

[download]

Ok the variable $xx is not used in any place of the program, just this assignment.. but the program yeld different result if I comment it ?! It is not nececery to make assignment, just using it changes the result.. in my case it was into one reg-ex.. but assignment is easer do debug...so lets continue..
do u have any explanation on this...
some examples, lets call result sets - rs1 and rs2 : 
my $xx = $db[$vars{_recNo}]{'name'};

[download]
yield rs1 
my $xx = $db[$vars{_recNo}]{'name'};
$xx = 0;

[download]
yield rs1 
#my $xx = $db[$vars{_recNo}]{'name'};

[download]
yield rs2 
my $xx = $db[5]{'name'};

[download]
yield rs2, never mind what number I use.. 
my $xx = $db[$vars{_recNo}];

[download]
yield rs2

I'm again mentioning this virable is not used in any part of the script....
Tell me other testing scenarios ot better some solution :") I'm with Gentoo - perl-5.8.0-r12
It seems to me like some problem with hashes ! or me just doing stupid things !!
