Well, the obvious problem is that you are getting an array reference back from %player_info. The [] brackets construct a reference to an array. So when you do:

 $player_info{$1}= [ qw($value1 $value2) ];

(my $nkey, my @nvalue) = each %player_info
[download]

You are actually putting a reference into $player{$1} info and then retreiving it into @nvalue. @nvalue then has one element, the arrayref i.e. $nvalue[0]=ARRAY(0xblahblahblah).

To do this right, you need to catch the reference like this:

(my $nkey, my $nvalue_ref) = each %player_info ;
my @nvalue = @{$nvalue};

However that won't make a difference, because you aren't actually putting anything into your array - you never put any values into $value1, $value2! Are you using strict?

Also, your parsing routine is a little complicated. Rather than doing the passes, strip the header before the loop, then do a =~ /(stuff)\s(more stuff)\s(stuff2)\n(even more stuff)....\n/

Also this:

[ qw($value1 $value2) ];
[download]

should be:

[ $value1, $value2 ];
[download]

Also (this is a personal style choice, but) this is can be done differently (TIMTOWTDI)

(my $nkey, my $nvalue_ref)
my ($nkey, $nvalue_ref)
[download]

HTH

Update: Typical. Two people beat me. I must type slow, or think slow :) Corrected my reasoning on the qw().
