[Pdx-pm] Hash reference depricated..

 From what I can see, the two routines here produce the same result.

for my $key ( keys %$DATA ) {
    my $value = %$DATA->{$key};
    print OUTFILE "$key => $value\n";
}

while ( my ($key, $value) = each(%$DATA) ) {
    print OUTFILE "$key => $value\n";
}

Except, the first one results in "Using a hash as a reference is 
deprecated at ./script.pl line 85." The second runs without errors.

Anyone see why?
