I'm not using an array because I'm not very smart, but thanks for pointing it out.

I was just pondering data structures, really. If I had some much more complex structure, possibly read out of XML in such a way that it just had to be a hash, I might have wanted to deal with 


%hash{
  array => [foo,bar,baz],
  bunchofotherstuff => [array
    [hash{
       array[
         ]
      }
   ],
  order => 1
}

But don't I get a point for knowing it was stupid? More importantly, I've grasped something about playing with hash values, and I've proved that my instincts about perl having a smart way to do stuff like that were right.
