A linked list can be created in perl like this:: 
my ($head, $tail);
            $tail = append($head, 1);
            for $value ( 2 .. 10 ) {
                    $tail = append($tail, $value);
                    }

            sub append {
                    my($list, $value) = @_;
                    my $node = { VALUE => $value };
                    if ($list) {
                            $node->{LINK} = $list->{LINK};
                            $list->{LINK} = $node;
                            }
                    else {
                            $_[0] = $node;      
                            }
                    return $node;
                    }
