Thank you to all of you who responded to my question about pasing hashes
into a function. The -> operator did the trick.
My problem was that I thought once I passed the hash in, I could
dereference it That doesn't appear to work like I expected.
sub mod_hash {
my $hash_ref = @_;
my

A code snippet would be very helpful. To pass a hash and update it,
then
func(\%hash);
sub func {
my ( $hash ) = @_;
$hash->{key} = 1;
# this should be reflected back in the calling program when you return
}
Wags ;)
