Re: How to better represent a complex data structure.

Fortunately, you do not have to make all the declarations. You can use anonymous arrays (and hashes):

my %main_file = (
    USER => [ [], [], [] ],
    TEST => [ [], [], [] ],
    TRIM => [ [], [], [] ],
);

If all the arrays are empty at the beginning, you do not have to declare anything - everything will be autovivified when dereferenced. So, in short:

my %main_file;
push @{ $main_file{USER}[0] }, $string;

Thanks! I was hoping that would be the case

I'm still reading about autovivication and i was a little confused by it!
