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

My current knowledge of hashes is to create a hash with unique keys. So, if given a group of people, I can create something like this:
'Bob Dole' => { 'address' => '123 peach st.', 'spouse' => 'Bill Clinton', 'father' => 'Frank Dole' }, 'Al Pacino' => { 'address' => '123 orange st.', 'spouse' => 'Robert Deniro', 'father' => 'Marlon Brando' } ...
What I am trying to figure out how to create is something like this instead:
'People' => { 'name' => 'Bob Dole', 'address' => '123 peach st.', 'spouse' => 'Bill Clinton', 'father' => 'Frank Dole' }, { 'name' => 'Al Pacino', 'address' => '123 orange st.', 'spouse' => 'Robert Deniro', 'father' => 'Marlon Brando' } ...
I'm having a difficult time finding the right search terms to get some sort of tutorial that helps me with this one. A nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
