Hello gurus, I have a rather bad code that looks like this. 
use strict;

my %h = ("foo" => 1,
      "bar" => 2);

my %g = ();
$g{\%h} = 1;

my @k = keys %g;
my $hashref = $k[0];
my %tmp = %$hashref;
print $tmp{"foo"}

When I run this I get  Can't use string ("HASH(0x90fcc70)") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use Is there anyway to make it work? It is not possible to change the data structures used there.
Regards,
delip
