[ABE.pm] data structures within data structures

What mechanism in Perl do I want to do for the following:

I want to create an array/hash that contains in each row variables and
arrays.  If I have two vars and an array, it might look something like
this:

    my $ds =( {"1", "2", (a,b,c,d)   },
              {"3", "4", (e,f,g)     },
	      {"5", "6", (h,i,j,k,l) }
	    );

How would I go about initializing/accessing the internal array elements?

The reason I'm doing this is I need to wrote six programs that all do
the same thing; they differ only in the value of 4 variables and an
array.  Instead, I want to write one program and just change the
variables and array values.
