This I cannot get my mind around... My data:
SNP Genotype 1 CC 1 CT 1 TT 1 NN It seems to me that I need a hash of hashes. Inner hash: $inner{ $Genotype }++ ; Since the value of the out hash ( $outer{ $SNP } ) has to be a scalar, this scalar has to be a reference to the inner hash, correct? If so, how do I declare them? my %outer ; Or should it be a reference to an anonymous hash? my $outer = +{} ; So that my code might look like: $outer -> { $SNP }{ $Genotype }++ ; Any help or reference is appreciated. My text on hand are "Mastering Perl for Bioinformatics", "Perl for C Programmers", and the Llama book.
