in reply to data structures
Array:my $scalar = 'abc'; print "$scalar\n";
Hash (aka, associative array):my @array = ('abc', 123, 'dog'); for (@array) { print "$_\n"; }
There are others, but I think if I mention them your head will explode. Master these, then start thinking about combining them into complex data structures such as arrays of arrays, hashes of hashes, etc.my %hash = ( bob => 'dog', sue => 'cat', jim => 'parrot',); for (keys(%hash)) { print "$_ has a $hash{$_}.\n"; }
