Hi,

I have a data structure Question. I am a newbie to perl. I need to query out data from a different table and the data should looks like the below, 
COLA  COBB ....  COLn
1      1          1
2      2          2
.      .          .
.      .          .
n      n          n

[download]


these cols are quesried out from different tables which is in an EAV type schema.
I mean I will get one whole column, COLA , then COL B,COLC etc..How I can store it in an tablular form like above and can be identified by like a COLA as primary key.
I want to edit some of these vaues in some of these queried data according to the user requests.
May I know what is the best way to do this. Is there any perl module to achive this?
what is the best data structure to hold these type of data?

Thanks,
Tom
