You did not give any real details as to what the data would look like other than hash and array. What is in the array? Numbers? Alpha? AlphaNumic?
Here is a shot which is very simplistic: #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my %ihash = (); $ihash{a}{a} = [1,2,3,4,5]; $ihash{a}{b} = [2,3,4,5,6]; $ihash{b}{a} = [3,4,5,6,7]; my $wrkkeya; my $wrkkeyb; for $wrkkeya (sort keys %ihash) { for $wrkkeyb ( sort keys %{$ihash{$wrkkeya}} ) { printf "%-3s%-3s ", $wrkkeya, $wrkkeyb; for (@{$ihash{$wrkkeya}{$wrkkeyb}} ) { printf "%3d", $_; } print "\n"; } } Output: a a 1 2 3 4 5 a b 2 3 4 5 6 b a 3 4 5 6 7 A start...
