I think you really want a hash-of-arrays (see
perldoc perldsc):
use warnings;
use strict;
my $primaryFeatures = {
'foo', ['fool', 'food', 'foot'],
'bar', ['barricade'],
};
while (my ($key, $value) = each(%$primaryFeatures)){
print "($key, $_)\n" for @{ $value };
}
__END__
(bar, barricade)
(foo, fool)
(foo, food)
(foo, foot)
I used square brackets to construct the arrays, then I dereferenced the arrays in the while loop.
It is also customary to use fat commas (=>) when constructing hashes
my $primaryFeatures = {
foo => ['fool', 'food', 'foot'],
bar => ['barricade'],
};
