Hi Chris,
Where you have the statement:
$template2 = $template ;
Essentially what you are doing here is creating a variable $template2 that
points to the same object as referenced by $template. An object in perl is
a blessed reference and so you have just made a copy of a reference. So
$template2 and $template point to the same object.
If you wish to make a true copy of the object, you will need to look at
things like Data::Dumper or better still the Storage module which has freeze
and thaw subroutines. Hopefully this will achieve what you want.
All the best.
Regards,
Damien.
