Best advice: Learn from wizards.  

Example: check out O'Reilly books, (such as 'Perl Cookbook');

   look up "multidimensional arrays",

   then do what they do.

<quote from said book>

"Complex (multilevel) data structures in Perl are always put together using references.  What appear to be 'two-dimensional arrays' or 'arrays of arrays' are always implemented as arrays of array references, in the same way that two-dimensional arrays in C can be arrays of pointers."
