Now I'm not necessarily interested in the answer, but more if I'm thinking about this problem in the correct way. After chewing on this issue for a week, I'm thinking along the lines of hashes being more appropriate since a quiz question can be associated with an answer. Any advice please?
Congratulations, your journey has begun
This is how you should think about it
first Think of verbs
StartQuiz( $quizfile, $userfile );
...
sub StartQuiz {
my( $quizfile, $userfile ) = @_;
for my $question ( Questions( $quizfile ) ){
my $answer = GetAnswer( $question );
SaveAnswer( $userfile, $question, $answer );
}
}

Write a few of these loops before thinking about data structures

choices => [

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
