`Can't use string ("6") as a HASH ref` This is probably because somewhere else you still have `$pathname_versions{$1}{$2}`. So, if `$pathname_versions{$1}` is now "6", for example, the `{$2}` would be trying to dereference the value "6", i.e. `"6"->{$2}`, which doesn't make much sense...	[reply] [d/l] [select]
