Is there any special way to do row/col (two dimensional) based associative arrays?
Something like:
$array{1.1}="line one column one"; $array{1.2}="line one column two";
Close. You need a hash of (references to) hashes:
my %HoH;
$HoH{1}{2} = "line one column two";
$HoH{1}{1} = "line one column one";See 'perldoc perldsc' for more examples, look for "HASH OF HASHES". If you want multidimensional arrays, see 'perldoc perlol'.
It will definitely help to understand references: 'perldoc perlref'. "help" is a bit of an understatement. To build and use your own data structures (or objects) effectively, you HAVE to understand references.
