Is {  my %TAccount = %Account; } your method to copy a Hash of Hashes ? What you copied is only the mother-hash, all the sub-hashes are still the original ones. Try this:
#!/usr/bin/perl my %hash= ( 'a' => [ 1=>2, 3=>4 ], 'b' => [ 5=>6, 7=>8 ] ); print \%hash," ", $hash{'a'}," ", $hash{'b'},"\n"; my %hash2= %hash; print \%hash2," ", $hash2{'a'}," ", $hash2{'b'},"\n"; #prints HASH(0x8daf70) ARRAY(0x8aee28) ARRAY(0x8cfc10) HASH(0x8db120) ARRAY(0x8aee28) ARRAY(0x8cfc10)

As you can see, %hash2 is at a different memory location but the entries in the hash point to the same subhashes
