Hi all,
I am looking to create an unknown number of hashes that represent MAC addresses to IP address and a hostname. For example:
0810100292{192.168.1.1}=mybox.myhome.com

[download]

Assuming I can do this, how do I print this unknown number of hashes. The key to this is that these is the hash names are the only ones numerically represented. So finding them ought to be easy. Most everyone can print a standard hash table, by doing this..
foreach my $key (keys %conf){
    print $key, "= $conf{$key}";
}

But how do I do this for multiple "unknown" hashes? Is this the smart way or should I use a standard array? By the way if you want to throw in the code to populate the array, I'm "ok" with that too:)
