Suppose I have a 2-dimensional hash %ManagerInCharge{$month}{$employee_number} defined below. For each month, I'd like to change the employee number key so that the lowest employee number is assigned the number 1, the second lowest is assigned 2, etc. For example, for 200611 (November 2006), I'd to change the keys "11","22","37" to "1","2", and "3", respectively. Could I do this by treating the values ManagerInCharge{month} as a list, and changing that list? Thanks again for all your help!


%ManagerInCharge = (
200610 => {
56 => "jane",
59 => "john",
69 => "joe",
100 => "frank",
},

200701 => {
23 => "abel",
11 => "gunder",
37 => "frank",
},
);
