You will get a lot of traction here from Slices - the ability to specify a subset of an array. The actual structure is a little obtuse to me, but you''l probably want something like:

##################################
# Add on File B's data
for my  $i ( 0 ..  $#H_USES ) {
$HoA{$H_USES[$i][5]} = [@{$H_USES[$i]}[0, 1, 3 .. $#{$H_USES[$i]}]];
} # end looping over rows
##################################

You'd have something cleaner if you don't mind being destructive, because you can use splice:

##################################
# Add on File B's data
for my  $i ( 0 ..  $#H_USES ) {
splice(@{$H_USES[$i]},2,1); # Eliminate 1 field at location 2
$HoA{$H_USES[$i][5]} = $H_USES[$i];
} # end looping over rows
##################################

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
