SPUG: HASH help

[Can Subaykan]

see if this model helps, if you need more info look at chapter 9 "data 
structures" in the camel book (3rd Ed)


%people = ( john  => {akas => [jack, johnny],
                      pets => [bird, spider, coyote],
                      talents => [eating, sleeping]},
            jacko => {akas => [michael, mike, mikhail],
                      pets => [elephant, llama, bubbles],
                      talents => [singing, dancing, scandals]},
            pres  => {akas => [george, dubya, bush],
                      pets => [dog, cat, horse],
                      talents => [bombing, misspelling, choking]}
           );


print "john's first pet is $people{john}->{pets}->[0] \n";  # bird
print "pres's second talent is $people{pres}->{talents}->[1] \n"; #

I need to make a multi-dimensional hash.  The top level has "$user" as keys,
and the values are references to another hash, hash2.  Hash2 has "$item" as
keys, and the values are references to an array.  The array has any number
of element in it... the goal being to be able to create a portable database
wherein the following is possible:

	by specifying a user, you can look to see the various items
associated with them, and then get specifics about any of those items...

I need a starting point... I'm somewhat familiar with perl but if anyone
could give me some direction that would be helpful.
