Zaxo has pointed you in the right direction, but if for any means, if you need 'modular sugar',you can use something like this with better design.
package Hash; sub new { my $class = shift; my $self = {}; bless $self,$class; } sub addKey { my $self = shift; my $key = shift; $self->{$key}; } sub printKeys { my $self = shift; foreach (keys %{$self}){ print "$_\n"; } } sub addValues { my $self = shift; my $key = shift; push @{$self->{$key}}, @_; } sub printValues { my $self = shift; my $key = shift; print "$key\t"; foreach (@{$self->{$key}}){ print "$_\t"; } print "\n"; } package main; my $hash = new Hash; $hash->addKey('fruit'); $hash->addValues('fruit', 'apple'); $hash->addValues('fruit','orange'); $hash->printValues('fruit'); $hash->addKey('operating system'); $hash->addValues('operating system', 'Linux','Windows XP'); $hash->printValues('operating system');
