When examining your data you should probably examine what you want, in this cae 2 arrays keyed on the first column, there's no need to create sepearate data structures and in fact having a single data structure makes passing it to subsequent functions easier. So here's a solution using a single data structure with each customer referencing 2 arrays, one for time and the other for location.
~/$ cat tmp.pl #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; open(my $customers, $ARGV[0])|| die "Couldn't open $ARGV[0] $!\n"; my %cust; while(<$customers>){ chomp; my @rec=split(/\s+/, $_); push @{$cust{$rec[1]}->{time}},$rec[0]; push @{$cust{$rec[1]}->{location}},$rec[2]; } for my $cust (sort keys %cust){ print "$cust: ",join(" ",@{$cust{$cust}->{time}})," : ",join(" ",@ +{$cust{$cust}->{location}}),"\n"; } ~/$ perl tmp.pl tmp.dat a: 12:10 12:13 : america australia b: 12:11 2:30 : bombay bhutan c: 12:12 : calcutta n: 3:40 : neterland
print "Good ",qw(night morning afternoon evening)[(localtime)[2]/6]," fellow monks."

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
