Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Naw.
Array refererences - now they are nasty.

my @arr;
my %hash_of_array_refs;
$hash_of_array_refs{ref_name_1} = \\@arr;

# now to push a value on to the stack

push(@{$hash_of_array_refs{ref_name_1}}, 'value');
New Ick.

New Compare to Ruby
\n@arr = [];\n@hash_of_array_references = {};\n@hash_of_array_references['foo'] = @arr;\n\n# Now to push a value on the stack\n@hash_of_array_references['foo'].push('bar');\n

Peter has a point. When you start getting into nested references, Perl's syntax gets unnecessarily ugly.

Cheers,
Ben

New Which is pretty much the same as Python
References in Perl are teh sukc. I want to just put a damn array in a hash. I don't want to have to worry about whether it's a reference or not. And yes, sometimes that makes certain things easier when you make a distinction based on the context, but dammit, most of the time I really don't need that. :-P
