@array = ( one, monkey, two, donkey, three, funky );
	# makes an array

%hash  = ( one, monkey, two, donkey, three, funky );
	# makes a hash where each of one, two and three is a key
	# for the data to their right, but better written as

%hash  = ( one => monkey, two => donkey, three => funky );
	# in both ones, two, three are keys and the rest the values.
	# the *only* difference is that the second is clearer for a 
	# human.  => has no special meaning at all - just another
	# comma for all perl cares.  

print $array[1]; 	# will print monkey
print $hash{one};	# also prints monkey
					# notice both have stored simple scalers 
					# so when we get the info for the print 
					# we ask for a scalar.
