What I really want to do, is perform some housekeeping and variable
initialization within a subroutine (so that I can stick it at the bottom of
the source and not look at it all the time). So I've been monkeying with:
use strict;
my %arg = (quiet=>"yep");
housekeeping(\%arg);
sub housekeeping
{
print keys %{$_[0]}, "\n";
my %arg;
*arg = \%{$_[0]};
print keys %arg, "\n";
}
But that doesn't work. I want to make a hash within the housekeeping sub
that when assign values it modifies the original hash (reference passed in).
But I can't seem to get the typeglob assignment to work. Help??
