Thanks, I took you're suggestion and put the prints into the program and ran it only once and printed the \hash and 3 \keys data. The output is below. 'B:' is for before the replicate/copy and 'A:' is after. As you can see, it looks like the data has been copied to a different location. I have no idea why 'B:' says 'REF' and A: says 'SCALAR', since they are the exact same print statement only adding the T to Account to show the two different hashes.

print "\nB:Acct:    ",\%Account,"\t",\$Account{"0"},"\t",\$Account{"1"
+},"\t",\$Account{"10"},"\n";
 { my %TAccount = (); keys( %TAccount ) = $i;
   foreach my $key ( keys %{ $Account{$i} } )
     {  $TAccount{$key} = $Account{$i}{$key}; }
print "A:TAcct1:  ",\%TAccount,"\t",\$TAccount{"0"},"\t",\$TAccount{"1
+"},"\t",\$TAccount{"10"},"\n";
     
print "\nB:Acct:    ",\%Account,"\t",\$Account{"0"},"\t",\$Account{"1"
+},"\t",\$Account{"10"},"\n";
{  my %TAccount = %{ $Account{"$i"} };
print "A:TAcct2:  ",\%TAccount,"\t",\$TAccount{"0"},"\t",\$TAccount{"1
+"},"\t",\$TAccount{"10"},"\n";
