I'm having a problem that in a PM I want to create a hash and assign it array that the users passes a reference into the pm. It doesn't seem to work. 
ARRAY(0x2c8bf4)/HASH(0x2f7eec)
TOP IS 16
ARRAY(0x2c8bf4)/HASH(0x2f7f7c)
START OF
ARRAY(0x2c8bf4)/ARRAY(0x2e1084)
ARRAY(0x2c8bf4)/ARRAY(0x2e1084)
ARRAY(0x2c8bf4)/ARRAY(0x2e1084)
ARRAY(0x2c8bf4)/ARRAY(0x2e1084)
ARRAY(0x2c8bf4)/ARRAY(0x2e1084)
ARRAY(0x2c8bf4)/ARRAY(0x2e1084)
ARRAY(0x2c8bf4)/ARRAY(0x2e1084)
ARRAY(0x2c8bf4)/ARRAY(0x2e1084)
ARRAY(0x2c8bf4)/ARRAY(0x2e1084)
ARRAY(0x2c8bf4)/ARRAY(0x2e1084)
ARRAY(0x2c8bf4)/ARRAY(0x2e1084)
ARRAY(0x2c8bf4)/ARRAY(0x2e1084)
ARRAY(0x2c8bf4)/ARRAY(0x2e1084)
ARRAY(0x2c8bf4)/ARRAY(0x2e1084)
ARRAY(0x2c8bf4)/ARRAY(0x2e1084)
ARRAY(0x2c8bf4)/ARRAY(0x2e1084)
ARRAY(0x2c8bf4)/ARRAY(0x2e1084)
ARRAY(0x2c8bf4)/ARRAY(0x2e1084)
