Dear brother
You have built a hash of arrays true but remember those arrays are anonymous and you can't pull out something from an anonymous array , the way you are trying.
Please try the following
Code
#! usr/bin/perl 
use strict; 
use warnings; 
my %names = ( 
Bora => [ "Male", "15" ], 
Trevor => [ "Male", "27" ], 
Andy => [ "Male", "35" ], 
Alex => [ "Male", "30" ], 
Louise => [ "Female", "22" ], 
Maria => [ "Female", "34" ], 
SanJeev => [ "Male", "33" ], 
Nevin => [ "Female", "43"], 
Qwerty => [ "Male", "100" ] , 
);  
print $names{'Bora'}->[0] 
# The output is  
#[root@localhost Documents]# perl hell.pl 
#Male
You see you will have to use print $names{'Bora'}->[1] to get

#perl hell.pl
#15[root@localhost Documents]#

Do it like this way for each (anonymous) array pointed to by each key of the hash

should have given you something like
Quote
perl hell.pl
Nevin ARRAY(0x9cd1614) Louise ARRAY(0x9cd16a4) Bora ARRAY(0x9c94c28) SanJeev ARRAY(0x9cd1644) Qwerty ARRAY(0x9cd15e4) Alex ARRAY(0x9cd16d4) Trevor ARRAY(0x9cd1734) Andy ARRAY(0x9cd1704) Maria ARRAY(0x9cd1674)
You see here each key of your hash is pointing to an anonymous array ; if you want to use this code you have to explicitly de-refer your self Perl never automatically derefers for you. Use the following
Code
print $arr[1][0]
and you get
Code
perl hell.pl 
Female[root@localhost Documents]#

I believe you that you did not know it was to a pirate website. Thank you for removing the link.
