Re^2: hash refferences

[leonidlm]

Another thing: Unfortunately I can't release the %temp variable every loop iteration, I need to perform it on demand. How I can do it ?

[moritz]

push @array, { %temp };

That actually copies the items from %temp into an anonymous hash, and returns its reference.

See perlreftut and perlref for more details.

Heh thanks, this is exactly what I did, but somehow it seems not efficient enough.
What about the following solution:
Substitute the %temp variable by $tempRef= {} ?

[moritz]

Yes, you can do that. That way you avoid the copy, and whenever you need a fresh hash you can write $tempRef = {}.

[Corion]

You can't. You can store copies of the values in another variable maybe.
