for and foreach make the argument an alias to (not a copy of) the values in the list.
Even if you copy a reference, you still get a reference, so I don't understand what you are trying to say.
my $href = {
'x' => {
'y' => {
'z' => [ $xref, $yref, $zref ],
},
#'strange' => { ..... },
},
#'charm' => { .... },
};
for my $obj ( %$href ) {
print "$obj: ",ref($obj),$/;
my $copy= $obj;
print "$copy: ",ref($copy),$/;
}
__END__
prints:
x:
x:
HASH(0x1a65030): HASH
HASH(0x1a65030): HASH

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.
