in reply to Re^2: class object and hash
in thread class object and hash

arghh.. my goof!!
%{$self->{SERVERHASHLIST}}=compileserverhash(); %{$self->{SERVERLOCATION}}=compileserverloc();
Guess I was running low on coffee did the above before posting. as soon as I removed the %{}'s it came in fine with the referencing on the calling subroutine.
$self->{SERVERHASHLIST}=compileserverhash(); $self->{SERVERLOCATION}=compileserverloc();
Thanks all
