All I did was ask a simple question after RTFM, and after trying several different things, and after using SuperSearch. I'm not an idiot, nor am I lazy.

All I did was answer the question (using your own words no less) without calling you an idiot or lazy. I can't help if you feel like an idiot.

So yeah, it ought to be really simple. But if that is the case, shouldn't I be able to make the test fail when the two hashes are different?

But it is simple, and you can make the test fail, you just have to write it correctly. I thought that would be obvious once you understood how cmpStrHard works. ok( not cmpStrHard(\%crosslinks, \%crosslinkscorrect) );

Another thing I'm curious about: I mentioned that the test unexpectedly succeeded. There really isn't anything interesting when that happens. What information should I have provided?

Something everyone can run that demonstrates your dilemma. Only you have access to JScan::ReadCrossLinks , ReadCrossLinks, \%crosslinks, \%options...

So PodMaster-- for posting and not actually helping. All I needed was confirmation that I was using FreezeThaw correctly. Too bad you couldn't do that, or at least keep silent.

I know I helped ( I showed you that you're not using FreezeThaw correctly). I wasn't very explicit and verbose, but i thought it was obvious. Too bad you didn't get it.
