Hello Kenneth,

Im sorry but i will not be able to post any code. I hope you understand. :( I will give u a clearer picture of what i am doing, and what i want. I hope it helps. I am able to access the elements using the hash ref. like what u said. $base{$key}index{$inner_key} is what i have done.

For Eg;

$base{$key}index{$inner_key} contains shell commands, like ls, ps, who, etc etc.

I want to be able to store the outputs of each of these commands ( $inner_key ) in an array which is specific to the outer hash key. ( $key ).

like $base{"xx"}[0]{"ls"}
$base{"xx"}1{"ps"}

$base{"yy"}[0]{"top"}
$base{"yy"}1{"finger"}

i want each of those outputs to be stored in an array called @xx and @yy where
$xx[0] = "output of ls"
$xx1 = "output of ps"

$yy[0] = "output of top"
$yy1 = "output of finger"

Is there a way i can handle this independent of the $key value/name.

i was thinking of creating something on the lines of $somestruct{$key} = [] // anonymous array. and then i can push or pop values into the anony array. I have no idea if what im asking is even valid. Im actually confused now..
