Why are hash values missing? 
#declare hash in main 
  my %myhash;

#require the autoloaded modules:
  require ${modulename};
  require ${usermodule};

#build the hash in an autoloaded module using a reference:
 &{${modulename}.'::$modulename'}($param1,\%myhash,\%hash2);

#call another autoloaded module that wants to use the hash:   
  &{${usermodule}.'::$usermodule'}($param1,\%myhash,\$array);

#in $usermodule, keys to the hash exist:
  @mykeys = keys %$hashref;  # is non-empty array

#but any attempt to get hash values produces null. e.g.,
  my $myval = ${hashref}->{$mykeys[0]};

I can print the keys and values just before calling the user module. But inside that module the keys exist while the values are null. The main perl script has grown over time, but this used to work.
Can this have something to do with size of compiled code?
