Hi all,

One quick Q about hashes:

they contain a key and data?
e.g: %stuff=(A => 'one',
             B => 'two');

where A and B are keys to data one and two...but what
happens if you have a massive text file wher you had
one key, but 20 or 30 columns of data?

do you do this:
%stuff=(A => 'one', 'two', 'three'...etc?

And is it true that hashes are a lot quicker than
arrays? if so, how much quicker? therefore if this is
the case, hashes seem like a default "storage unit"
over arrays, unless you have a relatively small array
you need to search?

Ben
