I have always used hashes when I needed large numbers of variables (though frankly, without knowing the technical benefits of doing so, other than they were 'convenient'). In this specific case I was debugging a subroutine and needed to inspect a bunch of internal variable values - so I thought I could save myself some typing by using the scalar reference, and in the process ended up teaching myself a good lesson. Thanks!
