in reply to out of order tree generation

the second and third level has already all information bottom-up

Ignore level one.

It really depends on the chart you wanna draw, if it's top-down you need to invert the relation.

i.e.

    the chart i'm trying to make should look like: 
               Professor
  v-----------v------------v---------v
Cubert      Hermes      Zoidberg    Amy
         v----------v
      Dwight      Leela
               v--------------v
              Fry           Bender

    so as you can see, top down. To do the find, would i use the map function or is there something better?

      Personally I'd build a Hash of Arrays %children , by looping with while(my ($id, $att) = each %second_level) and pushing into $children{$boss_id}

      No code sorry this looks too much like homework, but actually you have enough now anyway ...;)
