passing hash to a subroutine

[rory oconnor]

Is it possible to pass a hash into a subroutine to be used as a local
variable?  I'm trying to do this:

($rows, %results) = &Select($mytable, $where_f1, $compare1, $where_v1,
@quick_check, %field_values);

sub Select {
my($db_table, $where_field, $comparison, $where_value,@fieldlist,
%values) = @_;

.....

return $rc, %table;
} 

and it's not working.  If I remove %field_values and the corresponfing
reference, %values and use %field_values as a global varaible, it works
fine.  I'm able to return a hash no problem, but sending one doesn't
seem to work!

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Rory
