subs that return references to hashes and AnyDBM_File

[Joseph Jones]

if I have a subroutine that returns a references to a hash how would I get
that hash in a hash that is tied to a DBM i.e.

my %h;
my $db_name = "test.dbmx";

tie(%h, 'AnyDBM_File', $db_name, O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0640)
   or die("can't create \%h: $!");

$temp = $nntp->newsgroups();

$temp is a references to a hash I would like to have the return value of
$nntp->newsgroups()
put directly in to %h. can this be done or do I have to copy %$temp to %h

thanks for the help
