[plug] [OT] Perl Array/List/Hash Question

[Timothy White]

Basically I am attempting to implement a mini database in perl.
It goes like this, read in file in colon delimited format.
Use split to split it into components
Using the username component create a new 'database' entry with user data.
modify database.
write database back out.

The bit I am having problems with is storing the database.
I have tried
$database{$username}->{'passwd'} = 'random';
and that appears to work except I can't write it out again.
foreach $user ($database){}
doesn't return anything.

I basically need to iterate through the database recovering all values
as well as the changes.
