I have data like this. Computername:Description:Failed Pings
At present I am putting this data into seperate arrays and using an index to get it out in order. Not an extremely efficient way to do this and I will need to add more fields later and the like. I have considered using a hash, but if I, say use the keys function, and am using a multidimensional hash (i.e $hash => computername => description => failed pings) it will, I assume, return all the values as keys, whereas I only want the first layer (I.E Computername) then I can use it to referance the data with known keynames. How would I do this? Could you please provide some example code for me? Thanks a lot in advance..
