    yeah, except that push simply adds the new item to the end of the array.

    it would be nice if this worked: 

    my ($ref,$monk);

$ref->[2]->[1] = "value";
$ref->[3]->[2] = "value";

$monk->[1]->[3] = "value"; 

push @{ $ref }, $monk;

    [download]
    and a new entry 
        $ref->[1]->[3]

    [download]

    was created. But instead, this array "monk" is added as 

        $ref->[4]

    [download]

    thank you for your time and effort
