Why do you want to create a sparse array? You don't want to iterate over it, you want to retrieve the details for a given plan. Use a hash of hashes instead.

Also, you probably don't need to repeat the "plan" and "length" in the inner hash, you already know them as they're the keys to it (unless you need to iterate over the values somewhere). 

my %price = (
    1 => {
        1 => {
            name   => 'Early Adopter',
            price  => 3.49,
            stripe => 'price_123245',
        },
        6 => {
            name   => 'Early Adopter',
            price  => 18.99,
            stripe => 'price_123267',
        },
        12 => {
            name   => 'Early Adopter',
            price  => 32.49,
            stripe => 'price_123289',
        }},
    2 => {
        1 => {
            name   => 'First Increase',
            price  => 3.99,
            stripe => 'price_123445',
        },
        ...

Update: BTW, the syntax you used is not correct. 
Multidimensional syntax $price[1,1] not supported at 1.pl line 6.

[download]

The correct syntax is $price[1][1].

Similarly, the syntax for the hash of hashes will be 

my $gbp_sum = $price{$plan}{$length}{price};

[download]

map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]
