Dear Monks

i am new to perl

i have a doubt in a hash workings

input: %hash = ("1" => "canada", "1" => "us", "2" => "england", "3" => "france", "3" => "russia");

i need a output as

output:

1 # canada, us

2 # england

3 # france, russia

when i prints $hash{"1"} i am getting the "us" only but i need all the values of the key

is it possible to access all the values of a single key?

if so, please clarify and i need an example.

i think a key can have more than one values.

thanks in advance
