1) There are modules (search CPAN for "INI") that can help you here. Let's forget that given this is an excercise.
2) I don't think you want a hash. Don't you want a list (read array) of records (read hash)?
my @list;
while (@art) {
my $record = {
"art" => shift(@art),
"produce" => shift(@produce),
"price" => shift(@prices),
"descriptions" => shift(@descriptions),
};
push(@list, $record);
)
print("We have ", scalar(@list), " models for sale.\n");
print("\n");
print("They are:\n");
foreach (@list) {
print("Model: ", $_->{"art"}, "\n");
print("Produced by: ", $_->{"produce"}, "\n");
print("Price: $", $_->{"price"}, "\n");
print("Desc: ", $_->{"descriptions"}, "\n");
print("\n");
}
Update: Typed printf where I should have typed print. Fixed
