I'm trying to figure out how to apply 'map' to this problem.

I want to take my %hash and create a new %new_hash out of it.
I need to swap the key with the first array element that the has points to.

In so I want to %hash to go from:

$hash{'one'} = [ '1', 'two', 'three']; $hash{'two'} = [ '2', 'three', 'four']; $hash{'three'} = [ '3', 'four', 'five'];
to the new %new_hash:
$hash{'1'} = [ 'one', 'two', 'three']; $hash{'2'} = [ 'two', 'three', 'four']; $hash{'3'} = [ 'three', 'four', 'five'];
Here is my example script;
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Data::Dumper; my %hash; $hash{'one'} = [ '1', 'two', 'three']; $hash{'two'} = [ '2', 'three', 'four']; $hash{'three'} = [ '3', 'four', 'five']; # Here is where I can't get 'map' quite right my %new_hash = map { $_->[0] => [ getkey($_), $_->[1], $_->[2] ] }; print Dumper \%new_hash;
