Yes, or maybe an array of hashes because I might need
to loop through them and know what order they'll be
in.

I have used bidimensional arrays for stuff like this--
the awkward thing was having to remember that
$fields[4] contains, say, my 'zip code' array.

As always, TMTOWTDI, and indeed I am doing it, I'm
just trying to be as lazy as possible.

Thanks.
