So, yeah, I'm confusing myself. But here's the situation: Scanning for terms through multiple files, I want to keep track of each place a term is found in addition to the number of times the term shows up. So, I have hash of hashes with a scalar $count and an array $location. At least, that's what I want to have. So, how can I make this work? Yes, before you ask, at this point I am just throwing around @{$} and whatever other symbols I can come up with. Teach me, oh wise ones! 

my %hoh;
my @arr = ('first', 'second', 'third');
push (@{$hoh{'word'}}{'array'}, @arr); #no good
$hoh{'word'}{'count'} += 1;
$hoh{'word'}{'count'} += 1;

say "The count of 'word' is ", $hoh{'word'}{'count'};
say "The array of 'word' is ", @{$hoh{'word'}}{'array'}; # still no go
+od.
