I understand the concept of TIMTOWTDI and think it is a very intense, intriguing, thought-provoking, and accurate principle. So here is the situation. I am trying to write a program (AND yes I still consider myself $newbie) that will open a .txt file that will be formatted like so 
'him@here.com','C:\\test1.txt','C:\\test2.txt','C:\\test3.txt'
'her@there.com','C:\\test3.txt'
'it@where.com','C:\\test2.txt','C:\\test1.txt'

and take the email address (which I planned for to always be placed first) and send the following files.
My question is, "what would be the most efficient?" I have looked at the perldsc pages and attempted a hash of hashes, but like I said earlier, I still consider myself a $newbie since I was having a tough time grasping the concepts fully. Things like how I should format the .txt file or should I use hashes or arrays were concerns. I realize that everyone may have a different idea and way. And though each way may be just as efficient in time and resource usage, there will be certain ways that are more efficient for the perlmonk and the monk's way of thinking. That is why I am asking in this manner. To find the most efficient path for my way of thinking.
Thanks.
Blacksmith.

Update:I need to send a seperate mail to ALL of the address when the program runs.
