I could replace the array with a 2-key hash. Somewhat funny, but maybe a

$H{$ip}{nam}{$nam4}=''; # this works
Yes, that's the way I would do it. I find almost without exception that
the data structure I wanted was a hash, not an array. In your first
example, you were embedding/obscuring a piece of knowledge (0 => nam, 1 =>
dom). Over time, I've found it more readable to make that relationship
explicit. As a bonus, you can expand it whenever you want, reorder it,
etc.
