foreach loop scoping

[Camilo Gonzalez]

Ack!

Fellow programmers,

I have what is probably a rudimentary problem I hope some one can solve. I'm
trying to construct a hash of hashes from a form. The relevant code is as
follows:

for $modelkey (@model) {
                $datum = shift @data;
                @fields = (split /&/, $datum);                 
                     for $field(@fields) {
                     ($key, $value) = split /=/, $field;

                     $bigData{$modelkey}{$key} = $value;
                     print
"$modelkey<BR>$key<BR>$bigData{$modelkey}{$key}<P>";
                    }  
                                if ($bigData{$modelkey}{deleting} =~
/delete/) {
                                        $trash = shift @data;
                                        $trash = shift @model; 
                               }           
}

A sample of the results are as follow:

301
Sqft
900

301
Type
1br/1ba

301
Price
$194,900

301
Assesments
$223.12

302
Sqft
1084

302
Type
2br/2ba

302
Price
Sold

302
Assesments
$286.08

The problem is that I can print while the print statement is where its at
now but once I try to print outside the second foreach loop, nothing prints.
I'll eventually need to sort %bigData by the outer hash keys which means
%bigData's scope needs to extend beyound the second foreach loop. 

Does anyone have any ideas why this scoping problem occurs? Does anyone have
any ideas on how to overcome it?
