I am not sure if I could store all this in one hash:
I bet you can. I'm an optimist. ;)
I haven't been following this thread too closely, but let's just think about it in the general sense. What you basically has is a lot of information about specific authors, right? Can we shove an author in a hash? Sure:
my %author = (
Name => 'Whatever',
Indexline => 'Whatever',
Headline => 'Whatever',
Gedicht_lines => [ 'Poem1', 'Poem2', 'PoemN' ]
# etc... You get the idea.
};Again, I haven't been following too closely, so forgive me if I don't have your format right.
From there, it's a very small leap to a global hash:
# assuming a previously defined %authors...
$authors{$author{Name}} = \%author;
Well, hopefully that'll give you some new ideas.
