Hi,

I'm pretty new to perl and have hit a wall with a script i am trying to write. I want to add two potential values for each key in a hash. I am attempting to do it as below but i'm not sure if it is correct 

$uniq{"$file"} = ({"suffix1"=>"$suff"});
$uniq{"$file"} = ({"suffix2"=>"$suff"});

[download]
I am also then trying to read each value by executing something like 
foreach my $key (sort keys %uniq){
if ((exists($uniq{$key}{suffix1}) && ($uniq{$key}{suffix2}))){ .....

[download]
Is this correct..or even possible??

Cheers!
