When you use $$img{...}, what does using two $'s mean...does that signify that you are using an array of hashes rather than just a simple array where you would use only one $ to call a particular value? Thanks

    Yes and no. An array of hashes are really an array of references to hashes. Therefore when you fetch something from the array, you get a hash reference back.
    To actually use the hash, you then have to de-reference it. There are two syntactic ways of doing that $reference->{} or $$reference{}
    I like the latter best, mostly because its shorter and because it is coloured yellow in emacs...
    Read the perlref manpage
