Hi Monks,

I am trying to create a hash of arrays, unsuccessfully! I have really almost copied my code from the camel book, but nothing seems to work for me. Is there anyone out there with HoA experience on Perl 5.8.0? I know that answer already. 

use vars qw(%HoA);
## increment the sequencer.
    $HoA{sequence} = 0 unless exists $HoA{sequence};
    my $i = ++$HoA{sequence};

    $HoA{test} = [ "aaa", "bbb", "ccc" ];

    print ("HoA test $i: " .   $HoA{test} ."\n" );
    print ("HoA test $i: " .   $HoA{test}->[0]  ."\n" );
    print ("HoA test $i: " .  @{ $HoA{test} } ."\n" );

Here is the output: 
HoA test 11: ARRAY(0x87070a0)
HoA test 11: 
HoA test 11:

Thanks in advance.
