local only make a copy of the original value and restores it at the end of the scope, so %foo will not destroyed, but restored at the end of the scope. I guess this is the reason my it still stays tied. In my experiences there are more weired behaviours with tied hashs and arrays. (e.g. don't access a tied hash inside of a method of a tied hash, use FETCH instead, tied hash element doesn't always spring into existence, like normal hash elements does). You have to use them with some care. > > Investigating with Devel::Peek suggests that it's a %foo refcount > problem, it's somehow getting set to 2 after tie(%foo). > 2 is ok. one for %foo itself and one because it's tied to another object Gerald ------------------------------------------------------------- Gerald Richter ecos electronic communication services gmbh Internetconnect * Webserver/-design/-datenbanken * Consulting Post: Tulpenstrasse 5 D-55276 Dienheim b.
