Arrays and Strings in Hashes

mr_p has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Monks,

I would like to add string variables and arrays in hash, can someone help me how to do this? My Code will be going though multiple url and storing its links in newLinks.

Thanks.

@Hash (
url = "http://www.perl.org",
@newArray = [],
@lastArray = []
);
[download]

How Do I do this in perl and access it.

Hashes associate strings with scalars. References to arrays are scalars, so that's no problem. `my %hash = ( url => 'http://www.example.org/', newArray => [], lastArray => [], );` [download] Mind you, newArray and lastArray are awful names for variable.	[reply] [d/l]

I tried the following. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong here? Thank You. `my @files = qw( http://use.perl.org/ http://search.cpan.org/ http://jobs.perl.org/ ); my @hash = ( url => '', curArray => [], prevArray => [], ); foreach my $url2 ( @files ) { #push (@hash{url}, $url2); $hash{url} = $url2; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
