Re: How to turn "HASH(0x1234567)" into a real HASH

It's not possible, to turn the stringified hash address into a reference.

(At least not without meddling with internals and risking segfaults)

My advice, keep the original reference.

You are aware about the risks? Strings have no ref count! Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!}	[reply]
