how can push value from regex to a array of hash of hashes

Sombrerero_loco has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi there.!

Im seeking for your wisdom!

I need to know how i can push this calue $ServiceRef fomr this piece of code to an array of hash of hashes:

elsif (/<ServiceRef>(.+?)<\/ServiceRef>/) {
           $serviceref = $1;
           $index{"ID$counter"}{"sons"} = [$serviceref];
           
           }
[download]

As you see im capturing a regex expresion into $serviceref and i want toload every matches has been found into the array into de hash of hashes $index{"ID$counter"}{"sons"}[here should be an array reference, isnt ?].

As i has wrote its seems doesnt running properly, maybe something its mistakes. I need to do that because i need to keep every matched result of the regex expression because "a father could have more than a son".

Thanks in advance!

With an array, you'd do `push @array, $value;` [download] So with an array ref, you do `push @{ $array_ref }, $value;` [download] In this case, that means `push @{ $index{"ID$counter"}{"sons"} }, $serviceref;` [download] What you currently have, `$index{"ID$counter"}{"sons"} = [ $serviceref ];` [download] replaces the that currently exists at `$index{"ID$counter"}{"sons"}`. By the way, please wrap code in `<c>...</c>` tags.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thanks ikegami. But this will push me the value obtained from the regex passes to $serviceref to an array under the hash %index{"ID$counter"}{"sons"} ?? I mean, sons will contain all the matches in an array ?	[reply]
