you are still inventing terms and not using standard ones. there is no
hash position. i think you mean slot or entry which are commonly used
for where a hash stores the value associated with a key. but that has
nothing to do with a position in a script nor a date. it will help you
enormously if you use the common terms for perl things. hashes have keys
and values. values are stored in slots or entries (arrays or
hashes). array slots are accessed by an integer index (or sequentially
in a loop) and hash slots are accessed by a string key.
read perldoc perldsc, perllol for more on perl data structures and how
to create and access them.
