First things first, you don't really nead $gSeasonID, this will work
just as well:
$season_list[$fields[0]] = $fields[1];
Second of all, I think this problem becomes a lot easier if you use
hashes of hashes, like so:
$season_list{$fields[0]}{number} = $fields[1];
Because now you can loop over the seasons like so:
foreach (keys %season_list) {
print $season_list{$_}{title}; # or do whatever to this data
}
Now you don't need to fuss with array size or index values at all.
Hope this helps!
