    If I call a perl module with a hash variable, like so...

    pass1(\%myhash);

    The hash shows up in $_[0] and the debugger thinks it is a hash.

    I can even use $_[0] as a hash over in the module.
    Still normal so far.

    But if I do %anotherhash = $_[0], I get an undef in %anotherhash.

    Insights anyone??
