`push @array, { %temp };` That actually copies the items from `%temp` into an anonymous hash, and returns its reference. See perlreftut and perlref for more details.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Heh thanks, this is exactly what I did, but somehow it seems not efficient enough. What about the following solution: Substitute the %temp variable by $tempRef= {} ?	[reply]

Yes, you can do that. That way you avoid the copy, and whenever you need a fresh hash you can write `$tempRef = {}`.	[reply] [d/l]

You can't. You can store copies of the values in another variable maybe.	[reply]
