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
