Hello,
I have a hash that points to values in an array like this:
key1 -> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
key2-> 4 6 7 8 3 2 9 7
key3-> 2 3 5 8 9 1 1 2

I can print out the values like this: 
for my $hash_count ( sort {$a<=>$b} keys %hash){
print  "($hash_count)-> @{$hash{$hash_count}}\n";
}

[download]
I really want to empty this data into a spreadsheet using the Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module.

I hoped the following might work but it doesnt: 


for $hash_count ( sort {$a<=>$b} keys %hash){
      push @spread_array,"$hash{$hash_count}";
}
$worksheet->write_col(1,1,\@spread_array);

The idea was to push a load of references to arrays into @spread_array. Can anyone help with getting a hash of arrays into a spreadsheet ? I know 2D arrays can be written in one go.

thanks,
