Hi perl monks. I am stumped with this one.

I have several arrays that I want to slice into a single hash ref. Any tips? I read a bit about creating a hash slice from 2 arrays, but can't figure out the syntax for creating a hash ref slice from multiple arrays.

For example (excuse grammatical errors -- this is more pseudo code than anything): 

$hash_ref;

@array1 = "some_unique_key1 some_unique_key2 some_unique_key3";

@array2 = "meta_data_1 metadata_2 metadat_3";

@array3 = "submitted_date1 submitted_date2 submitted_date3";

The hash ref would have a structure like: 

$some_uniquekey1 --> 'Metadata' --> $meta_data1 = '1'
               --> 'Submitted Date' --> $subitted_date1 = '1'

$some_uniquekey2 ... etc


$some_uniquekey3 ... etc

Basically the arrays value indices all correspond to each other -- I just want to merge them all into an accessible table.

Any tips or slaps up the side of my head appreciated!
