in reply to Calling a function reference with arguments

I think I've fixed my problem, I was not dereferencing a hash as I thought in the line:

my $func_ref=%hash{"my_function"};

Once I fixed that, things seem to work.

Funny error message though, how would you interpret this error message?

      Yep, it should have been $hash{"my_function"}.

    I get:

    syntax error at noname.pl line 2, near "%hash{"
Execution of noname.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

    with:

    my %hash = (hello => "Hello World\n", my_function => \&my_func);
my $func_ref = %hash{"my_function"};

$func_ref-> (\%hash);

sub my_func {
    my $hashref = shift;
    
    print $hashref->{hello}
}

    so it seems the sample code you provided is not quite the same as the code you tested, or there is a Perl version difference issue perhaps? (I'm using AS Perl v5.8.7)
