I apologize, I was probably unclear. I will try to explain it better:

My goals is to get the appropriate value for it's appropriate key in Hash. For example.

'CUSTOMER1' = 20; 'CUSTOMER2' = 40; 'CUSTOMER3' = 60;

The above keys and values are in %myHash.

Now I want to extract each of the value and store it in appropriate Variable. For example:

$money_spent_customer1 = 20; $money_spent_customer2 = 40;

The problem is, I only find the solution with knowing what are my $customer and typing an IF statement, to check if the current $customer matcher CUSTOMER1 (for example), etc.

I was hopping if there is a better way to store the values inside variables seperetely for each $customer

The end goal of all this is to draw a chart on my HTML page. To see, how much money did certain customer spend. And I want to be automated as possible - so that I tomorow we'll have new customers, I want PERL to generate my HTML without my manual interfering (apart of running the Script).
