Hey all, I'm trying to cycle through a hash and manipulate the values. If I have this situation (not the prettiest coding but hopefully you follow what I'm doing): 

my %Hash;
$Hash{a}[0]="i";
$Hash{a}[1]="ii";
$Hash{a}[2]="iii";
$Hash{b}[0]="iv";
$Hash{b}[1]="v";
$Hash{b}[2]="vi";

foreach my $var (sort keys %Hash) {

   print "$var,$Hash{$var}[0],$Hash{$var}[1],$Hash{$var}[2],";

}

The output I get is: a,i,ii,iii,b,iv,v,vi,

So for each key ($var either a or b) I have three values assigned to elements 0, 1, and 2. Can I cycle through those elements with another foreach loop and manipulate them individually without explicitly calling it with $Hash{$var}[0]? Am I doing something stupid here or too complicated and there's something easier I could do? Is this even a clear enough picture for someone to answer? :P Thanks for whatever help you can provide.
