I have a strange situation, and am quite baffled. I am using the following snippet of code,

 for my $i (0..$#{@{$ChargesArray}}) {
        my @temp_array = @{$ChargesArray->[$i]};
        my $buff_4 = "@temp_array";
#        print "@temp_array\n";

 }

When I print or assign the @temp_array in quotes to a dummy variable, things work, the array goes and gets processed. However if I don't print or assign it to a dummy variable everything seems to break ?? Can anyone explain why. It seems as though the print and or assignment in quotes flushes something ? I stumbled upon this as I was removing all my print/debug statements, it took me several hours to isolate four places where this occurred in the code.
