in reply to How to create HASH with multiple values per Key

You just need to make the hash value a reference to the Property array. The only question I would have in the matter is what if @Object had multiple values?

    I am looping through a file that contains both Objects and Properties and storing Objects in @Objects and Properties of particular Object in @Properties e.g of the file 
    

<AllObjectsProperties>

<Object name="O1"/>
<Properties>
<Prop name="P1"/>
<Prop name="P2"/>
<Prop name="P3"/>
</Properties>

<Object name="O2"/>
<Properties>
<Prop name="S1"/>
<Prop name="S2"/>
<Prop name="S3"/>
</Properties>


</AllObjectsProperties>
