Even checking gisnt teh _TD structure does not return a value:

foreach my $key (sort keys %{$_TD->{old}}) {
        my $ref1 =  ref $_TD->{old}->{$key};
        my $ref2 =  ref $_TD->{new}->{$key};
        elog(NOTICE, "ref1 = $ref1 ref2 = $ref2" );
        .
        .
        .


Results in the following output:

NOTICE:  ref1 =  ref2 =
