I think you can simplify this with a loop:
for($i = 0;$i < @animals;$i++){
$hash{$animals[$i]} = $mammals[$i];
}

Hi,
Another question:
If I have a hash with entries like these:
my %hash = ($animals [0]=> [$mammals[0]], $animals[1] => [$mammals[1]]);
But if the list has like 50 entries in both the $animals & $mammals the can
I do
this?
my %hash = ($animals [0..49]=> [$mammals[0..49]]);
What I want to avoid is the number of time I have to type in the %hash
entries.
It did not seem to work well.
Thanks.
