kudra needed to have a reference to a reference???
Maybe, maybe not. I can't make heads nor tails from kudra's
posting. Some vital information, namely the code in the modules One and Two is missing. I'm not going to speculate
what's going on.
For example, take the following code:
Your code produces:
Just another scalar
SCALAR(0x8191618)
But what about it? Why do you post that code. Does the
result surprise you? Are you trying to make a point?
but could you explain a bit more what you meant?
What I meant was every reference is a scalar. There are no exceptions to this rule. What I also
meant was that the $dbh in kudra's original
post is also very likely to be a reference. Your post seem
to imply that you think scalars and references are different
things. So, I have two points: 1) references are scalars.
2) in both forms, a reference is passed as second argument
to the news anyway.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
