You'd basically want to create a hash of arrays.
So instead of having each key pointing to a single scalar value, you'd make
it so each key points to an anonymous array instead. So the hash would look
like this:
%hash = (
joe => "smith",
jim => ["jones", "taylor"],
sof => "comes",
);
Then youd access the values like this:
$hash{jim}[0] # returns "jones"
$hash{jim}[1]; # returns "taylor"
hope this helps. Aloha,
