I have a perl program which generates me 3 outputs, 1) Number 2)user 3) comments. I would like to associate a specific number with respective user and comments. How do I display the user and comments when someone enters the number?

use strict;
use Data::Dumper;

        #Header
    printf "%-12s %-10s %s\n", qw(Number User Comments);
    $result =`cmd to get the result`;
        #Formatting the output
    while ($result =~ /number (\d+).*user:\s*(\S+)\s*#\s*(.*)/g) {
            printf "%-12s %-10s %s\n", $1, $2, $3;
          #Pushing the result from variables to 3 Arrays
              push @numbers, $1;
               push @users , $2;
              push @comments, $3;
          }
#References to Array
my $numbers_ref = \@numbers;
my $users_ref = \@users;
my $comments_ref = \@comments;

#Hash of array references
my %hash = (

)

The current output from the print statement looks like this. But I would like to display "sam"and "changed abc in the file", when some enters number as "1234567" 

Number    User    Comments
1234567   sam    changed abc in the file.
5646542   john   deleted asds in the file.
