No, no -- I'm simply trying to generate a HTML list that retains the order it was defined in. I also cannot change the format data is received in.

Below are some examples of the array and the HTML that needs generated...

Ex1:

my @array = (
    'Main//News',
    'Main//Reviews//PC',
    'Main//Reviews//PS2',
    'Main//Reviews//XBox',
    'Other Menu//Other//Sub//Menus'
);

• Main
  • News
  • Reviews
    • PC
    • PS2
    • XBox
• Other Menu
  • Other
    • Sub
      • Menus

Ex2:

my @array = (
    'Main//Reviews//PS2',
    'Other Menu//Other//Sub//Menus',
    'Main//Reviews//XBox',
    'Main//News',
    'Main//Reviews//PC'
);

• Main
  • Reviews
    • PS2
    • XBox
    • PC
  • News
• Other Menu
  • Other
    • Sub
      • Menus

Ex3:

my @array = (
    'Other Menu//Other//Sub//Menus',
    'Main//News',
    'Main//Reviews//XBox',
    'Main//Reviews//PS2',
    'Main//Reviews//PC'
);

  • Other

  • News
  • Reviews
    • XBox
    • PS2
    • PC

Update 1: Didn't look at jeffa's code yet.
Update 2: Jeffa's code is almost there... it just doesn't retain the order things are defined in.
Update 3: Ok - I now know that I can't create a hash to simulate the menus tree but rather that I must use an array. I'm not sure how to do this... please help.
