Re: Help needed to understand hashes and hashes of arrays

[tall_man]

It looks like you want a hash of array references, and in fact you came close. The flaw is when you tried to add to the array:

   # Bad - creates a new copy of the array.
   #@someArray  = @{ $textHash{$da} };
   #push @someArray , @textarray;

   # Do this instead.  This adds more to the referenced array.
   push @{ $textHash{$da} }, @textarray;
