You need to explain WHY you want to do this. There doesn't seem to me to
be a good reason. Use a hash of array references. Don't turn off strict.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings; # perl5.6+
my %data;
my $name = shift;
$data{$name} = [1,2,3];
# or
# @{ $data{$name} } = (1,2,3);
And your "while (<$ARGV[0]>)" is weird, and not working why you think it
works.
