"Explain what you're trying to do" is NOT the same as "Include all 700+ lines of your code". It's a request for a better explanation.

I think I can safely say that we can all understand that you're putting values into a hash. The question here is: Why is your hash structured the way that it is? People are asking this question because the hash appears to be structured very awkwardly. Don't dismiss these questions -- the people asking them are very skilled Perl programmers.
