Hey DK.

Total shot in the dark here, but...perhaps Data::Dumper might be of some help?

UPDATE: with total credit to castaway, here's this answer

'using data::dumper or print after your loop, you would have noticed that $hash_ref is empty'

Well there is the point that using a module such as Data::Dumper or Data::Dump::Streamer (with the former in Purity() mode) you would at least readily notice any cyclic references in the data structure. --- demerphq	[reply]
