Yes it sure can. Do you have the code that you tried this with? If
you post it, we could help you through the errors.
The basic concept is this:
Read the file one line at a time.
For every line:
Strip off the new line
Split the line up into both names
The first name is the key, the second is the value in a hash
Access 'James', for example, like this: $hash{Jim}.
We'd be happy to walk you through some code if you show us what you
have.
