I would like to build an associative array which in turn points to
lists ( one per key ).

Something like this:

$array{$name} = SOME LIST

	Where SOME LIST is some array ( list ) of indices into another set
	of arrays containing relivant record information.  This array
	would be periodically added to while traversing the entire
	list of people.

	$name is character string containing NAME

I realize this has probably been discussed, but I don't have my PERL
book yet.
