What you have presented is an array of hash REFERENCES, in what looks like a very convoluted and inefficient structure.

If you are having trouble expressing an algorithm or identifying a reasonable data structure, and are able to describe the original problem, perhaps we can be of assistance. Your question as posed seems too abstract (diverged from reality) and twisted to provide a coherent answer.

Alternatively, post some (minimal) functioning code with data, and include the results of running that, and compare that with your expected results.

P.S. Welcome to the monastery!.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
