A hash is a set of relationships, for example
Item Cost
Beans 300
Carrot 200
Apple 250
etc
To create this relationship in perl, use the hash notation
%vegetable_costs = (Beans => 300
Carrots => 200,
Apple => 250 );
To refer to the hash, you use $vegetable_costs{Beans} for the cost of beans etc
for eaxample, your program might have a print statement like
print "The cost of beans is $vegetable_costs{Beans}\n";
If you understand that, try putting the words "perl hash" into Google.
