I certainly appreciate your point! And it is well taken.
I try to modulate my response to the skill level reflected by the original question (with an imperfect heuristic). Sometimes I am more effective at this than at other times. The HoA (Hash of Array) syntax can often be a bit confusing for beginners. I just avoided this "what heck does push @{$result{$first}}"? mean by not doing that. Anyway, I think the collective "Monk Wisdom" has done well for this OP - there a several alternatives, all of which will probably work out just fine.

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).
