But the result is functionally the same, especially if you use
anonymous hashes.
my @a = ( { foo => 1,
bar => 2 },
{ tarzan => 'boy',
jane => 'girl' }
);
Now you should be able to say $a[1]{jane} to get 'girl'.
Be aware that [] is the anonymous array ref creator,
and that {} is the anonymous hash ref creator.
You might also look at
perldoc perllol # arrays, but the point holds
perlreftut
perlref
