I've never used Tie::File::AsHash, but it appears to treat a file as a hash of arrays. You are trying to store a hash reference in it, and it's converting that to a string, HASH(0x875fffc). You would need to either convert it into an array before storing it, then convert back to a hash before using it; or else serialize it, perhaps using Storable.

I suppose the error was that when I write a reference to a tied hash the reference isteslf loose its object, it's just simply became a string whith an hex address. I used separate hash both to store data on file with Tie::File::AsHash and to share with process using IPC::Shareable. As said by some of you the reference are not managed, so I must take care of it. Now everything works well. Thank to everybody	[reply]

You' re right. I was wrong just because I think that Tie should manage also inner hash. Now it's all more clear and I fix my program so it now works as expected. Thanks to everyone.	[reply]

sub ab { $hash = { abc => 'cde', }; return "$hash is the value"; } $str = ab(); with $str how can i access the has of abc and its value. Since, its hash ref in a string..	[reply]

Basically, you can't. The memory allocated to `$hash` is released as soon as `ab` returns because there is no reference to `$hash` anymore. If you need a reference to data, keep it as a reference. Don't convert it to a string.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
