Hello Monks!, I could use some help in trying to push multiple key-value pairs onto an existing hash. 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
#gene name and gene ID
my %gene = (  "NCRNA00115" => "79854",
              "SAMD11" => "148398",
              "NOC2L" =>  "26155",
              "PLEKHN1" => "84069",
               "HES4" => "57801"
            );
# Let's add multiple key value pairs to the existing hash
# push new data into a hash with $hash{key}=$value;
# To add a second hash to the first, use @first{keys %second} = values
+ %second 
while(<DATA>){
    chomp;
    my ($key, $value) = split;
    push @{$gene{$key}}, $value;    
}    
print Dumper(\%gene);
__DATA__
