Now, I am trying to build a array of hash of hash reference such that


@array = { $key => { $key1 => $val } }
[download]

so for  <lease true="yes"/>

@array = { lease => { true => yes } }
[download]

I am stuck here.... I am not sure how to spit that output of the print so that I can stick them into the array the way I want
