FYI, Tyler, the reason that this will do what you want is because you're
original program wasn't doing what you thought.
%stations = ( $names[0] => $names[1] );
This creates a list of two elements and assigns it to the hash named
%stations. Therefore, $names[0] becomes the one and only

I would like to create a hash based on data contained in a file. Can I not use a
variable as both the key and the value as shown below? When I print as shown I do not
get a value however if I write the key as:alta_guard => $names[1]then I get
the correct value printed out.
