If you wanted to get fancy and cryptic, you could create your "goal" hash by: 
    my %Belfast_car_dealer_hash =  map{$_=>1} 
                 @{$car_city_dealer_aoa[0]} [1..$#{$car_city_dealer_ao
+a[0]}];

but I would not write code like that without an explanation:
It uses an array-slice of @{ $car_city_dealer_aoa[0] }, skipping the first (0) element, and mapping the rest.
