FATAL ERROR: Can't use string ("HASH(0x875fffc)") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at 
hi, have problem pointing a hash inside the $selh hash of an object

my problem is this:


    my %shared_data = (
            'dtLastRcvMsg' =>  time,
     'dummy2'       =>  33,
     'dummy'        =>  5
      );

    my $p1 = \%shared_data;
    mylog( "P1: ($p1) " . Dumper( $p1 ));

---------------------------------------------------
==> this is ok ( print the right hash )
---------------------------------------------------

2008.6.17 10:38:29 pid=10663 P1: (HASH(0x875fffc)) $VAR1 = {
          'dummy2' => 33,
          'dummy' => 5,
          'dtLastRcvMsg' => 1213691909
        };

---------------------------------------------------



    $self->{'shared_data'} = $p1;

    my $p2 = $self->{'shared_data'};
    mylog( "P2: ($p2)" . Dumper( $p2 ));

[download]



after I assign the reference of hash to $self->{'shared_data'} and then to $p2 I get a different set of data
here wath the Dumper show me:

2008.6.17 10:38:29 pid=10663 P2: (HASH(0x875fffc))$VAR1 = 'HASH(0x875fffc)';

The ref. address seems the same (0x875fffc) but the data inside seems lost

What I'm wrong in thsi code ?
Any suggestions on that ?


Regards and thank for the help .
