Hi, I just got a crush curse in PERL, since I am working on small project. I am not familiar with PERL, but PHP.

I need to push data into the following PERL structure of hash-array combination. Basically I need to read from a spreadsheet values containing 'owner' information and link it to a specific directory. It can be done manually like this:

$directory{"owner1"}{0} = ["DIR1", "DIR2", "DIR3"];
$directory{"owner2"}{0} = ["DIR4", "DIR5", "DIR6"];

[download]

This works, but now I need to read it from the spreadsheet as the values come, and assign it to the specific 'owner' key Is there a way to push into a specific key? i.e:

push @directory{"owner1"} $value

[download]
This way it gets pushed into the specific array. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
