Hi PerlMonks,

I am interested to access the data for a student using the query of Registration number. I have no idea about making a database. So I have thought of using the arrays to get the detailed information. Is it possible to get the desired results using arrays and hash as given in the following script (incomplete)? I request Perlmonks to provide some suggestions in this matter.

#!/usr/bin/perl  
use warnings;
use strict;   
#################################
## HASH OF ARRAYS: 
#################################
my @a=qw/A B C D/; 
my @b=qw/20 19 22 23/; 
my @c=qw/x1 x2 x3 x4/;
my @d=qw/phone4 phone2 phone3 phone1/;
my @e=qw/72 55 83 69/; 
my @f=qw/2011 2012 2009 2008/;
 
# HASH of arrays: 
my %hash=('Name' => @a, 'Age' => @b, 'Regd_no' => @c,
       'Phone_num'=> @d, 'Marks' => @e, 'Pass_year'=> @f); 

## To access all the information with the query of Regd Number: 
print"\n Enter the regd number (say x3): "; 
 my $entry=<STDIN>; 
## Code for accessing individual student information ??? (Not known)

## Code for inserting & deleting the details of a student ???

exit;

Result should look like:

Regd No. x3 has the following details:

Name: C

Age : 22

Phone_num: phone3

Marks: 83

Pass_Year: 2009
