How can I rid a Deprecated REF problem?

Hi All;

Why am I getting the PERL -W complaint like:-
[Thu Nov 18 22:44:07 2004] w: Using a hash as a reference is
deprecated at w line 435.
. . . . .

from the likes of :-
435: my $en = \%$t_xmlin->{$child}->{$tag_s};

The process works OK, but I doubt I am future proof.

I am after a REF to the XML::Simple structure like:-
$VAR1 = {
'our_tags' => {
'idx_serno' => '10001',
'serno' => {
-> 'pt_' => {
'atts' => '1',
'edate' => '9912312359',
. . . . .

I go on to use $en like
my $l_var = eval{$$en->{$comp_to}};

Regards
Ian
