in thread How to tell if I have a string, or a ref to a hash

Thanks very much, all. It's interesting that not only had I never heard of 'ref', but that my searches through the index of the Camel Book didn't turn it up. I've decided to use Scalar::Util::reftype.

Thanks also for the note on prototypes.

The ref function is in the index of the camel book in both the 2nd and 3rd editions. The original pink one is in a box in my garage, so I don't know about that one.	[reply]
