my @array = (
  {
    'name' => 'Chuck',
    'job'  => 'roustabout',
  },
  {
    'name' => 'CowboyNeal',
    'job'  => 'code monkey',
  },
);

You can also use normal array operations (such as push) to modify an array:

push @array, { 'name' => 'vroom', 'job' => 'stacking blocks' };
print $array[0]->{name};

See perlman:perldsc for more information.
