This (code below) makes sense to me, but I was talking this over with a
co-worker on Friday, and then I tried putting together some 2-dimensional
hashes - which hurts my head at the moment.  So I went to
perl.plover.com/FAQs to read (again) his article on references, and I still
have a mental block.  Conceptually I understand multi-dimensioned hashes, but
in practice I have a LOT of trouble with the syntax.

I need to work hard to solidify how to put it together in a real coded
situation.

OTH, This code posted below makes more sense to my brain.  I was on this
track earlier, but digressed into the above approach - which is probably more
elegant, but difficult for me to see how to do in practice.
