Your problem occurs in the mixed use of array and scalar values. The assignment $new_hash{$some_key1} = @some_array1 actually references @some_array1 in the scalar context (because $new_hash{$some_key1} is of the scalar data type). In the scalar context @some_array1 will simply return the number of elements in the array. If you want to save the actual array, assign a reference to the array into the hash such as $new_hash{$some_key1} = \@some_array1. This will preserve the array. You can now reference the elements of the array as $new_hash{$some_key1}[0], $new_hash{$some_key1}[1] etcPJ

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).
