Access and Printing of a HASH OF LISTS

 # one element
 $HoL{flintstones}[0] = "Fred";

 # another element
 $HoL{simpsons}[1] =~ s/(\w)/\u$1/;

 # print the whole thing
 foreach $family ( keys %HoL ) {
     print "$family: @{ $HoL{$family} }\n"
 }

 # print the whole thing with indices
 foreach $family ( keys %HoL ) {
     print "family: ";
     foreach $i ( 0 .. $#{ $HoL{$family} } ) {
         print " $i = $HoL{$family}[$i]";
     }
     print "\n";
 }

 # print the whole thing sorted by number of members
 foreach $family ( sort { @{$HoL{$b}} <=> @{$HoL{$a}} } keys %HoL ) {
     print "$family: @{ $HoL{$family} }\n"
 }

 # print the whole thing sorted by number of members and name
 foreach $family ( sort {
                            @{$HoL{$b}} <=> @{$HoL{$a}}
                                        ||
                                    $a cmp $b
            } keys %HoL )
 {
     print "$family: ", join(", ", sort @{ $HoL{$family}), "\n";
 }
