Thanks,%hash = ( 'employment' => { 'LifeShopDirect@freshcornam.com' => 'Host +not found' } );
Update I: I just realized that @array only had three items in it, which is of course why the HoH only has the last item in it. If there's a better way to approach this, I would appreciate comments.
Update II: Thanks very much for all the comments. I believe I have a workable solution now. Thanks very much to all. I will test each method and try to understand each one.
