Please don't call hashes "hashes arrays". They are either "hashes" or
"associative arrays". (Technically, hashes are the name of the implementation
rather than the Abstract Data Type of a Dictionary that matches keys to values
, but we call that in Perl because it's a short and convenient word).

Are you talking about the C Standard Template Library (STL)? How does what you
are referring to allow multiple values for the same key? I should note that if
you wish to do something like that in Perl, you can have the key point to a
value that is an array reference, a hash reference or a different data
structure.
