I've been trolling and searching, but have not found anything that helps me. If you know of a thread please link me.
I have a structure containing a hash. I want to pass the structure into a sub by reference. While in the sub, I want access to the hash. Please cure my stupidity.
heres a stripped down example:
use Class::Struct;
struct MyStruct => {
hash1 => '%',
};
#fill the struct's hash with some data
my $test = MyStruct->new(
hash1=>{one=>onesdata}
);
use_hash(\$test);
while(($key,$val) = each %{$test->hash1}){
print "$key=$val\n";
}
sub use_hash{
my $ref = shift; #obtain the passed in reference
$$ref->hash1{two} = 'twosdata'; #PROBLEM
}
I get an error on the line marked problem. Can anyone explain my error?
Many thanks in advance.
