Only if well equals a hash of arrays of hashes ;)

Actually I used H::T the other day for email but only for trivial mail
merging, anything else I use TT for as I can use objects and don't
have to munge data into the hugely limiting and frankly crippling
H-o-A-o-H arrangement.

When I used H::T at a previous employer for a fairly complex web
application it was a giant pain in the ass and we even experienced
bugs which we had to munge our data even more to get around.

Using TT from the start saves a lot of pain ;)
