On my upgrade system, one of my hash statement fails to execute.

Declaring two variables,

my( $rxml, $ob ) = @{%$self}{qw/rxml rxml_ob/};

Above statement not seems to be working anymore.

I'm currently using perl v5.8.8.

Should I separate $rxml, $ob values? or would there be alternative solution to make this statement to be compatible with current perl version.

UPDATE(3/12/2013): Problem solved.

For more information,
$self contains: 
my $self = bless( { 'rxml' => 'test', 'rxml_ob' => 'test2' } );

Problematic line: 
my( $rxml, $ob ) = @{%$self}{qw/rxml rxml_ob/};

While I upgrade perl version from 5.8.8 to 5.10.1 gives me this error.

Can't use string ("30/64") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at

Solution: 
my( $rxml, $ob ) = @{$self}{qw/rxml rxml_ob/};

Disgard % hash sign.

It seems first statement wasn't even working at 5.8.8 and do not provide any strict ref errors. 5.10.1, perl seems became more strict about this.

Thanks to cristofo and Anamolusmonk for clarification and answer to my question promptly,
(though I gave out the limit amount of info, these guys nailed down my problem and guided me to right direction. also, I thank you all for your prompt attention!)
