I'm trying to create an org chart from a hash, but i have no idea where to start. I looked into trees, but what i don't understand is what happens when a grandchild is entered before a child object.

Here is my data (as dumped from Data::Dumper:

$VAR1 = {
          '1929' => {
                      '3' => {
                               'boss' => 1929,
                               'name' => 'Amy'
                             },
                      '4425' => {
                                  'name' => 'Dwight',
                                  'boss' => 1
                                },
                      '480' => {
                                 'name' => 'Fry',
                                 'boss' => 2
                               },
                      '1919' => {
                                  'boss' => 2,
                                  'name' => 'Bender'
                                },
                      '1929' => {
                                  'name' => 'Professor',
                                  'boss' => 0
                                },
                      '3968' => {
                                  'boss' => 1929,
                                  'name' => 'Cubert'
                                },
                      '1' => {
                               'boss' => 1929,
                               'name' => 'Hermes'
                             },
                      '4' => {
                               'name' => 'Zoidberg',
                               'boss' => 1
                             },
                      '2' => {
                               'name' => 'Leela',
                               'boss' => 1
                             }
                    }
        };
