Re: disjoint copy one hash to another


Quoth "ram@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <ramprasad.ap@xxxxxxxxx>:
When I create a copy of a hash array, the operation on the copy hash
seems to affect the original hash
( when the values are reference elements )

How do I avoid this ?

use Clone; # or one of the Clone::* alternatives
