in thread Making an array out of each line of a text file

Uh, I'm totally confused. My program did the whole thing. What's all that extra code up there for on yours?

    I tried to run your code but it's now working. I have a file in the same directory called data.txt (the file w/all of the info in it).. here's the script file i'm runninng
    #!/usr/local/bin/perl open (DATA,"<data.txt") || die "Can't open $DATA $!"; while (<DATA>) { chomp; @line = split(/,/); $key = shift @line; push @{$data{$key}}, \@line; } print $data{"Andrea"}[0][1], " should be good\n"; # offsets off by one + print $data{"Dave"}[0][1], " should be better\n"; print $data{"Joe"}[0][1], " should be 0\n";
    Here are the errors

    syntax error in file data.pl at line 10, next 2 tokens "@$data" Spurious backslash ignored at data.pl line 10. syntax error in file data_824.pl at line 14, next 2 tokens "}[" syntax error in file data.pl at line 15, next 2 tokens "}[" Execution of data.pl aborted due to compilation errors.
    sorry if i was confusing.

      You are running perl 4. You really need to upgrade.
