Re^2: Hash reference

Thanks very much. That worked. I didn't think the braces were needed, but they make all the difference.

&myfunc($a_ref->$w);   # BAD
&myfunc($a_ref->{$w}); # GOOD

Yes, "xyz" was the key.

The braces are indeed important because you're providing a key, and expecting a value. The value is actually a reference! When you don't provide the braces you are no longer passing a key and expecting a value. Instead you're trying to call a function! That's why you get the error message, can't call method on unblessed reference.. because you have a hash, not an object.	[reply]
