<HTML> How can I create a hash with 2 key value pairs that also links to an array of data?
I am not sure if this is called a multidimensional hash of arrays.
Upon reading a file I need to compare 2 vaules for example Network and connection type.
If these values do not exist create the new values and store the trailing data with them.
I currently have the following which works with only one key pair, but it is over writing the
previous data because I am only comparing one field: 
@str = qw( 7 house network_name 4 6); //<--example of data

if($myhash {$str2}}){  
  // if netowrk_name is found increment the values of 3 and 4 
} 

else{ 

//must be new so ad new data to hash 

}

But I need to compare and store 2 results.
example I need to store and compare 0 and 2 and then have that array of data behind it.
Can someone shed some light on this for me?
thanks, Kev
