Re: multiple values for one key in hash

No, but you can make the one value for a key be a reference to an array which contains multiple values.

$h{key} = [ 'value1', 'value2' ];
push @{ $h{key} }, 'value3', 'value4';
# $h{key}->[2] eq 'value3'
# ${ $h{key} }[3] eq 'value4'

If you're not familiar with array references, see perlreftut for a start.

You can also make the one value for a key be a string that encodes all the various values (e.g., CSV or Data::Dumper output, etc.)
