the only examples of hashes i've seen in any of the books seem to demonstrate that the key can only reference one piece of data. whereas in the table i have i need to use the round number to reference the team name and the score for that row. I also return multiple rows from the sql selection step so i need to take each row one at a time and add them to the hash as a row of three pices of data - the first being the key. what does the putting of the "my $row" inside the while step do? what is the syntax to reference the first column in row one. what is the syntax to reference second column in row one. i'm new to perl so i might seem a bit of an amateur.
