I guess this would be the hash approach you speak of:

#!/cadappl/bin/perl -w -Ilib

use strict;
use Data::Dumper;

my @r = ( 
  [ 5, 3, 5, 5 ],
  [ 1, 1, 2, 1 ],
  [ 2, 1, 2, 3 ],
  [ 5, 5, 1, 5 ],
  [ 1, 5, 1, 1 ],
  [ 2, 3, 5, 3 ]
);

my %lineTo;
foreach my $ref (@r)
{
        $lineTo{"$$ref[0],$$ref[1]"} = "$$ref[2],$$ref[3]";
}
my $start = "1,1";
my $curr = $start;
print "$curr\n";
while (($curr = $lineTo{$curr}) ne $start)
{
        print "$curr\n";
}

Output:

1,1
2,1
2,3
5,3
5,5
1,5

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.
