DCPM: $yntax

[Matthew Browning]

Can anyone put me straight here?  I can't seem to think right:

I have two arrays, both of thirteen elements.  These values contained 
therein need to be massaged into a hash for passing to a method (which 
wants them like that, not written by me)

So, the arrays are like:

@array1 = ('one', 'two', 'three' etc...
@array2 = ('dog', 'cat', 'pig' etc...

and I want them to wind up in a hash looking like this:

my %edit_vars = (
			[-- other stuff --]
			values		=>	\@pass_to,			
			);

Now, I can make it work, as implied above, by doing this:

my @pass_to = (
			{	left	=>	$array1[0],
				right	=>	$array2[0] },
			{	left	=>	$array1[1],
				right	=>	$array2[1] },
			{	left	=>	$array1[2],
				right	=>	$array2[2] },

...and so forth,



But that is pretty inelegant and, while I *know* it to be wrong, I am 
afraid I can't see the Right Thing here, perhaps as a result of recent 
nocturnal excesses.

Data structure spaghetti.

Anyone know what I'm on about?  How would you do it?
