Re: How to better represent a complex data structure.

my %main_file=(
                  USER <= \@user_file,
                  TEST <= \@test_file,
                  TRIM <= \@trim_file,
                  );

Obviously you mean => there ;)

Like this?

push(@{$main_file{"USER"}[0]}, $string);

Have you tried it? Did it fail you?

> perl -Mstrict -MData::Dumper -wE '
    my %main_file = ( USER => [ [], [], [] ] );
    push @{$main_file{"USER"}[0]}, "string ;)";
    print Dumper \%main_file;
    '
$VAR1 = {
          'USER' => [
                      [
                        'string ;)'
                      ],
                      [],
                      []
                    ]
        };

I have tried it roughly, but the mess of code i wrote quickly grew out of hand so i wrote the above to try to simplify it in my head and to simplify the question!

Thanks for you reply.
