The easiest way to store multiple values in a hash is to have the hash value be an array reference. An array reference will automatically be created if you just treat it as one: `my @words = qw/FrobniZZ Shiftboard CocaCola ShiftBoard/; my %cases_found; for my $word (@words) { push @{ $cases_found{ lc $word } }, $word; } for my $lc_word ( sort keys %cases_found ) { print "$lc_word found with these cases: ", join( ', ', @{ $cases_found{ $lc_word } } ), "\n"; }` [download] -- Online Fortune Cookie Search Office Space merchandise	[reply] [d/l]

Really a very simple and good example. Thanks a lot. I am working on it myself and studying all sort data structures. It will take some time for me. Once I will be able to crack it I will let you know. Many thanks once again	[reply]
