Hi all;

I have a problem described on the title, need a structure array within structure array.

Now what i have come up yet is:

my @classrooms;
my %classroom = 
(
  classroomID =>'$',                      
  classroomName=>'$',   
  students=> \%student,
);

my %student = 
(
  studentName => '$',             
  studentSurname=> '$',
  studentID=>   '$',
  age=>  '$',
);

now lets say there are 3 classrooms, named classroom1,classroom2,classroom3 as well as classroomIDs 10,11,12. now each classroom has different number of students, but i guess it wont be a problem since we dont use array sizes in perl. and naturally each student have a name, surname,id and age.

I want to store that data in that classrooms array... but how do I make that happen! 

    my $student = ( studentName => 'John', studentSurname=>'Something'
+,  studentID=>'9534', age=>'12' );
    my $student = ( studentName => 'Mary' ,studentSurname=>'Something2
+',  studentID=>'5489', age=>'13' );
    my %classroom = (classroomID => 10, classroomName=>'classroom1');

Students are created without a problem I think but I didn't push them into any of the classroom arrays. And that classroom structure is not even generated i guess since I didnt even create anything for student variable,

How do I generate a classroom data and push those students into classroom1? And how can i access them? 

 $classrooms[0]->students[0]->studentName

will probably not work. Can anyone help with this?
