When i run this code it gives the following output.. 
 VALUE   $VAR1 = {
          'E2' => 'valid',
          'E1' => 'valid'
        };
$VAR2 = $VAR1;

Why it showing $var2 = $var1 ? While i expected this 
$VAR2 = {
          'E2' => 'valid',
          'E1' => 'valid'
        };

Can you guide how to get above output..
