If I understand you correctly, you're trying to link an element in one array to another array (in a hash of arrays). In other words, you want to add an arrayref to an array. The solutions posted by both Limbic~Region and borisz do exactly that. Unless we are still misunderstanding your problem, you might want to peruse perlref to gain a more thorough understanding of references. References are very powerful tools that will serve you well, provided you know how to use them effectively.
On the other hand, I wonder why you need an arrayref at all. Could you not simply use the words in the definition directly as hash keys?
