Hi guys,I have tried to work out the answers but the code seems have quiet a few error.I've tried this to create a reference array of hashes: 
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

my $data = "members.dat";
open (DAT, $data) or die "\"$data\" not existed or can't be opened!\n"
+;
my @client;  
my @fields = qw/memberno firstname lastname subjuct score/;

while (<DAT>) {
    next if ( /^Surname/ or /^-/ );
    my @values = unpack 'A15A15A15A15A15', $_;
    my %entry = map { $fields[$_] => $values[$_] } ( 0..$#fields );
    push @client, \%entry;
}

I am worndering whether @client I've created is a reference array of hashes? or is it a real array of hashes.
