Oh, come on. I do hashes of hashes of hashes frequently in Perl. And
hashes of hashes of arrays of hashes of arrays. And ... well, other
permutations.
And the syntax for a multi-dimensional array is almost
indistinguishable from the example you gave in Python.
$matrix = [
[1, 2, 3],
[4, 5, 6],
[7, 8, 9] ];
print $matrix->[1][2];
A little more punctuation, but, then, you'd expect that from Perl.
You must have a very lame Perl hacker at your disposal. ;-)
