( $name, $p, $uid, $gid, $gecos, $dir, $s ) = split( ':' );
$hash1{$name} -> {'uid'} = $uid;

$VAR1 = {

}
};
snippet......
$hash2{$name}{$uid} = {
gid => $gid,
gecos => $gecos,
};
so that I grasp hashes and understand them more, in the first printed dump of
HoH, there are 2 hashes called "hash1 and "name". Hash hash1 has a key of name
with values of uid,gid and gecos? uid,gid and gecos are accessed only through
name?
in the printed dump of HoHoH, there are 3 hashes called "hash2", "name" and
"uid". Hash hash2 has keys of name and uid with values of gid and gecos? gid
and gecos are only accessible through hash uid?
thank you
