A)Yes, B) Like so: `my @superfriends = ( { name => 'aquaman', power => 'talks to fish' }, { name => 'zan', power => 'can turn into water or ice' }, ); # To access the name of the second superfriend in list print "Name: $superfriends[1]{'name'}\n";` [download] Note: Code not tested, and superfriends powers not double-checked. Technically, it's an array of hash references, but hey... stephen	[reply] [d/l]

Here's the answer to a question you didn't ask but may want to: if you want to see what's in your array of hashes or other comples data structure (e.g. to find out whether you created it successfully) then this will give you happiness: `use Data::Dumper; print Dumper(\@your_array);` [download] NB, this is a snippet - I assume you have created your array under `strict` etc (I say this to protect myself from the wrath of sibling monks!). § George Sherston	[reply] [d/l] [select]
