eepvesity has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

In using the split function for columns and push function for placing names and heart rates in hash from files with following format:

 
Patient Heart Rates
Melly   70 
Glenn   69

How would I ensure that the column headings "Patient" and "Heart Rates" do not end up in the hash or are excluded from appearing in any data structures? Thank you.
