You do not want to have arrays named @failed_1, @failed_2, @failed_3,
etc. That is bad form. Instead, you want to have an array of array
(references):
push @{ $failed[$value] }, $data;
@failed is an array whose elements are references to arrays. For more on
how to use references, check these standard docs:
