I have a list of employees and their numbers: 
01 Joe
02 Ed
03 Sam
04 Wendy

I have a list of transactions: 
yadda 01 abc

I want to read through my transactions file, and push the 3rd field onto the tail end of the array associated with each employee. I don’t want to: 
foreach (@transactions) { #there are dozens of employee numbers…
    if ($_ eq 01) {     push (@joe , $_) ; }
    if ($_ eq 02) {     push (@ed , $_) ; }
    if ($_ eq 03) {     push (@sam , $_) ; }
    if ($_ eq 04) {     push (@sam , $_) ; }
    if (no others) {     push (@unregistered , $_) ; }
}

I want to: 
foreach (@transactions) {
    push (@the_correct_employee’s_array_based_on_number , $_) ;
}

I want to use all these arrays later to print off different reports. Any help would be appreciated!
