Hello,
Thank you for your reply. For simplicity sake, at any one given time there can be 21 fruit baskets. Each basket will contain X number of fruit consisting of "Fruit Names". So I was trying to use the hash of 0-20, for a total of 21, ( ex. $fruit{0}=248 to identify the total number of pieces of fruit in the basket, and then use ex. $fruit{0}{'fruits'}, to contain an array of the types of fruit that make up the value of $fruit{0}.

I see you change "There are $fruit{0} ... "to There are ", scalar @{ $fruits{0}{fruit} }, ", but I actually was wanting to use $fruit{0} to list the total pieces of fruit in the basket. So in this example, Basket 1 contain 248 pieces of fruit consisting of Apples, Pears, Bananas, Peaches, and Grapes

Thanks
Gary
