This creates a shallow copy. It does not copy the contents of any
references in the hash. To do that, use
What's the difference between using the Clone module and simply assigning

Thanks.

Hi,
The three CPAN modules suitable for copying data structures are:
Storable, Data::Dumper and FreezeThaw. Of these, Storable offers the
dclone method which addresses the
problem on hand.
use Storable qw(dclone);
$ref2 = dclone ($ref1);
The method works on references to scalars, arrays and hashe
