this is a simple question -- but i've spent an hour on it w/no luck, and can't seem to find an answer anywhere
right now, i've got a hash 
%ResultStatusCodes = (
    1 => "registered",
    2 => "unregistered",
    3 => "waiting"
)

i've been assigning hashes relating to users 'result status' var, that has one of those numbers. that works all fine. 
$resultStatus[1] = 1;

which would mean record 1 ($resultStatus1) is 1. simple enough.
now, i need to seperate theses records by their 'resultStatus' 
%ResultsByCode = (
    registered        =>    @ of registered ids
    unregistered    =>    @ of unregistered ids
    waiting            =>    @ of waiting ids
)

[download]
or 
@ResultsByCode = (
    1        =    @ of registered ids
    2    =    @ of unregistered ids
    3    =    @ of waiting ids
)

problem is -- i can't figure out how to do this. i think it should look something like this, though i know none are right 
    @resultsByCode = ();
    for ($i=1;$i<=5;$i++){ $resultsByCode[$i] = ();}
    for ($i=1;$i<=5;$i++){
        push $resultsByCode[$resultStatus{$i}], $i;
    }

[download]
    %resultsByCode = ();
    for ($i=1;$i<=5;$i++){
        push $resultsByCode{$resultStatus{$i}}, $i;
    }

[download]
push "resultsByCodecode1 = registered" , record id
i'm at a loss. can someone point me in the right direction?
