in thread mutiple array as hash value per key

in case i have new set of data (new array) referring to same key,is it possible to push the array value to the hash? eg : 
new set is read from a file

while ($line <>){
($key,$value)=split(/,/,$line);
#suppose #line have 23,['g8',23,45]
push @{$numbers{23}},$value;
}

    What you're looking for is probably more like:

    while (<>) {
  chomp;
  my ($key, @values) = split /,/, $_;
  push @{$numbers{$key}}, [ @values ];
}
