Perl hash query

Hi,

I'm currently trying to write a script which will take three values off a
form (ID, number and score) and write them to a file which I can then
retrieve later and perform calculations on both number and score. Initially
I had the script creating three seperate files which works fine, but this
will eventually result in my creating hundreds and hundreds of hils in my
directory, which I'm not real thrilled about.

I'm playing around with hashes but just can't get it to work as the book
I've got (perl for Dummies (& don't I just feel like one!) does not explain
how to nominate a key value for a hash.

Any help would be much appreciated.
