Markus,

Thanks for the reply. This is very informative, and I will follow your 
suggestion (and hope the H-T developers will consider this as a problem 
to be solved).

But, my question is -- where on earth did I let H-T "contaminate" my 
AofH? I am hand-crafting my own AofH --

     # A hash to hold the current rolodex entry
     my %rolodexentry = (
     ROLODEXVAL => $rolodexval,
     ROLODEXTEXT => $rolodextext
     );

     # Add the current rolodexentry to the existing rolodex
     push(@rolodex, \%rolodexentry);

Where, o, where is H-T even touching all this?

Thanks,

Puneet.
