Since you seem interested in having named variables instead of indexes
into an array you may be better served by an array of hashes. The code
would look like this:
my @myarray = (
{
count => 10,
type => 'apple'
},
{
count => 5,
type => 'oranges'
}
);
foreach my $item (@myarray) {
print "The are $item->{'count'} $item->{'type'}(s)\n";
}
