Fellow Monks,

I am trying to create a script to track and store domain information. I'm hoping to store the information in a hash by domain level. Kind of like:

 
.com->domain1->subdomain
    ->domain2->subdomain
             ->subdomain2
.net->domain1->subdomain
                    ->subsubdomain1->subsubsubdomain1
                                   ->subsubsubdomain2

I have the URI elements broken out into an array (rootdomain,domain,subdomain,...) and I want to insert them into a hash.

How can I check each element to tell whether it should create a new domain or go into an appropriate existing one and keep checking if it already exists.

Is there some funky statement I can use to check each level of domain to see if it's level exists. The answer is obvious to me if it is a fixed number of sub-domains but I can't figure out how to do it with different numbers of domains. (ie. www.perlmonks.com or seek.wisdom.here.perlmonks.com)

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
