I have a hashes of hash like this 
LOCKS => {
         SCRIPT => {
                  "script1" => {
                               script properties(hash)
                               }
                  "script2" => {
                               script properties(hash)
                               }
                  }
         }

i add the scripts like this make a %tempHash of SCRIPT PROPERTIES and $LOCKS{SCRIPT}{$scriptName}=\%tempHash where $scriptName is either script1 or script2 or scriptN and write this whole thing to a file. Then each time in my operation, I read the file and build the hash in the same manner. I have a problem in deletion. I want to delete only "script2" and write it back. Currently i use delete($LOCKS{SCRIPT}{$scriptName}). But I can find the hash value still present after i delete and write to a file. Any suggestion on how to delete? Thank you in advance -Raj84
