Thanks, that cleared up a few things for me..I was quite perplexed at the thought of creating key-value pairs, with multiple values, (of course, once there's more than two, it would no longer be a technical "pair"). I mean not only does the entire concept make my brain hurt, but I thought the idea of multiple values per key sort of defeated the purpose of creating a hash altogether (not to mention the idea of how to get to each individual value and the complications arising from that).
Thinking of it along the lines as each key still only having "one" value, that "one" value being a reference to other lists (or, arrays, rather)/hashes, makes a little more sense to me, but, ultimately, still hurts my brain...oO

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).
