Hello Monks, I have written a script that wraps Java Keytool in perl to list the certificates in a keystore. I am using a foreach loop through the output from Keytool and pull the name of the certificate and the expiration date. I want to put the values into an array of hashes but I cannot quite understand how to get that to happen. What I am trying to get to is something like this... 
@AoH = ( 
         { 
           $certName => $validTo, 
           $certName => $validTo,
         } 
       );

I declare a global array of hashes at the beginning of the script with: 
our @foundCertificates();

I have the following subroutine setup to parse through the output from the keytool to pull the certificate names and the date they are valid to: 
sub parseResponse {
    my $out = shift;
    my $certname;
    my $validTo;
    my $retMonth;
    foreach my $line (split ("\n", $out)) {
      if ($line =~ m/^(Alias\sname:\s)(.+)/) {
        $certname = $2;
        #print "$certname\n";
      } elsif ($line =~ m/^(Valid\sfrom:\s\w+\s)(\w+)\s(\d\d)\s(\d\d:\
+d\d:\d\d)\s\w+\s(\d+)\s(until:)\s\w+\s(\w+)\s(\d\d)\s(\d\d):(\d\d):(\
+d\d)\s\w+\s(\d\d\d\d)/) {
          $retMonth = &convertMonth($7);
          $validTo = timegm($11,$10,$9,$8,$retMonth,$12);
          #print "$validTo\n";
      }
    }
    #print "$certname - $validTo\n";
}

I know that my regular expressions work as the script captures the three certificates in my keystore, but what I cannot figure out to do is how to push the $certname and the $validTo in the array as a pair. I am not sure what other information I can provide, but any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Scott
