pushing a hash to an array 1

[1DMF]

how do I create a hash on the line I use push.

i.e.

push @array, "key->value,key->value";

i want @array to have an index which holds a hash, key = 'a_name' value = 'January', key = 'text' value='January'

hope this makes sense.

You have to use a hash reference (which are enclosed in curly brackets), i.e.:

push @array, { key1 => 'value', key2 => 'value' };
