SPUG: odd array ref issue

[Rick Croote]

I'm used to seeing stringified Array message only when I have set the 
variable as such

$Data::Dumper::Maxdepth = 1;

I use the above often when data items are so large that they take forever 
or likely to just crash the program.

Are you sure that the line in your code doesn't look something more
like:

   $params->{donor_pk} = "$tmp";

It seems that your array ref is being stringified somewhere. Perhaps
including a sample of your actual code will shed more light.
