Re: hash of arrays question

I'm new to perl and have a question. The perl book
says that hashes map keys to values. Using the reverse
function you can map values to keys.

AFAIK, the reverse function takes a list/array, and returns
it in the opposite order.



My problem is
I have a hash of arrays and I want to map an array
of values to a particular key. Is there any way to
do this?

Something like this?

@contents = (1,2,3,4,5)
$hashofarrays{key} = \@contents

I can then reference like follows:

print $hashofarrays{key}[2]

outputs: 3
