I can't come up with a good title or search parameter for this, so if there's a node with the info I'm looking for available, please accept my apologies and point it out with a bare minimum of flaming ;)

I have many arrays like the following one, although the number of elements is completely unlimited each time : ( 'foo' , 'bar' , 'baz' )

I want to create a hash structure such that every array populates the hash like so : $hash{ 'foo' }{ 'bar' }{ 'baz' }

This is proving to be a frustratingly complex concept for what's really a piddling little detail. But of course now that I've stumbled across the issue, I can't do any "real" work until I figure it out. I've tried using references to solve it, but that seems to be failing me.
