in thread Printing out a hash in specified format

That's what I thought too..But if I'm reading line by line and need to bucketize a set of data for every backup set, then wouldn't the array or hash be useful for this?

    Hashes are good for grouping (using the SQL term) if that's what you mean. Specifically, a hash of server of hashes backup sets of arrays of status records.
    $backup_status{$server}{$backup_set}[$backup_set_idx]{$field_name}
