I don't agree with Abigail-II's tone, but I have to say, if you had mentioned the tied-hash part in your original post, you may have been better off. Without that information people jump to conclusions.

That all said, you may want to look into using some kind of tied-array instead of a tied-hash, since clearly your data is more akin to an array. I can't recommend any one in particular (especially without knowing the details of how/what you are tie-ing to), but I am sure that you can find something on CPAN and if not can find enough inspiration to roll your own (which you can then upload to CPAN so we can all use it too).
