Until you start thinking of terms of hashes, you aren't thinking in Perl. It serves no good to delay this epiphany. Also, remember that being a "novice" is a temporary and curable condition.

You may call it "expert-friendly" if you want. >Sorry, but I still thinking that the solution of native perl functions >still the simplest and easiest solution.
