Hi Monks,

I have an array like this, 
comp1-cmd1-test1
comp1-cmd1-test2
comp1-cmd2-test1
comp2-cmd1-test1
comp2-cmd1-test2
comp3-cmd1-test1

I would like to convert this to a hash like this,
%hoh = (
  "comp1" => { "cmd1" => [ "test1", "test2" ],
               "cmd2" => [ "test1" ] },
  "comp2" => { "cmd1" => [ "test1", "test2" ] },
  "comp3" => { "cmd1" => [ "test1" ] },
);<br>

Can anyone of you please help me to get thru this. I found some perl modules in CPAN which is not elaborate to be used.
I just started developing it like this,

%hoh = ();
foreach my $temp (sort @{$arr1} ) {
  my ($comp, $cmd, $test) = split(/\-/, $temp);
  $hoh{$temp} = { comp => $comp,
                  cmd => $cmd,
                  test => $test, };
}

But this is not sufficient to get it the way I need.

Hoping to get the solution here.

Thanks
Senthil
