Hello all, newbie here got a few questions:
I am working with pointers and I sort of understand them and then  I
don't.  I understand that instead of making a variable for a particular
value you can use a pointer to access the same data.  So the new
variable stores the pointer to the old data.
ie.... $a = "mom";
      $b = \$b;
print $$b --> mom

Ok so what I don't understand is when do I need to dereference the
pointer for hashes.  so I have a hash pointer..  \%overData.  Now how do
I access this hash.  %$overData?

Thanks
confused.
