in thread Array reference of hash references

I wanted "start" to have the first number and "start" and it looks like its undefined.. Sighs why would it be undefined?
Because you are trying to split on single quotes surrounding a single space, but you have no single quotes in your data. Just use this:
while (<DATA>) { my @off = split;

    Thanks a lot!! I really appreciate it. I guess its all a learning process for me! thanks

    it works fine now. i just wonder why it has "stop" first instead of "start".

      Hashes have no particular order (see perldata).
