Hello All,
I am looking for any assistance possible. In a nutshell, I am looking to assign an array as a "value" in a hash, then be able to extract the array, make modifications to it, then reassign the array back to the "value" of the hash. I hope this can be done or if there is a much better way, I am definatly listening. I have included the code below and have documented exactally what I am trying to accomplish on each line.

Once again, Thank you in advanve for assistance
Gary
@fruit=(Apple, pear, Bananna, Peach);     # Populate Fruit Array
$new_fruit="Grapes";            # Next Fruit to be added
$fruit{0}=248;                 # Just a random number

$fruit{0}{'fruit'}=@fruit;            # Want to assign array to this l
+ocation in hash
@HoldArray=$fruit{0}{'fruit'};            # Want to assign array at ha
+sh location $fruit{0}{'fruit'} to HoldArray array
push (@HoldArray,$new_fruit);        # Push new_fruit to array
$fruit{0}{'fruit'}=@HoldArray;            # Want to assign updated fru
+it array to this hash location

#Print out Total fruit and list fruit
print "There are $fruit{0} pieces of fruit. The following is a list of
+ the fruit \n";
foreach ($fruit{0}{'fruit'}) {
   print "$_ \n";
}
exit;
