Hrm. I'll have to take your (that's a "your" plural, btw) word for it. This is why I don't use hashes of arrays or arrays of hashes.

I've had to update some scripts by co-workers who use variables like $rvw (your guess is almost as good as mine on what that variable represents (my only advantage is I have some context)) and insane compositions such as the above (actually the above make the compositions I'm dealing with look like cake sometimes). And of course the previous developer didn't know what a comment was. They're always hard for me to decipher, and are a good indication on why people think Perl looks like line noise...

Anyway, thanks for the clarification.
