7.8: How do I declare/create a structure?

In general, you don't "declare" a structure. Just use a (probably
anonymous) hash reference. See perlref and perldsc for details. Here's
an example:

$person = {}; # new anonymous hash
$person-> = 24; # set field AGE to 24
$person-> = "Nat"; # set field NAME to "Nat"

If you're looking for something a bit more rigorous, try perltoot.

The perlfaq-workers, a group of volunteers, maintain the perlfaq. They
are not necessarily experts in every domain where Perl might show up,
so please include as much information as possible and relevant in any
corrections. The perlfaq-workers also don't have access to every
operating system or platform, so please include relevant details for
corrections to examples that do not work on particular platforms.
Working code is greatly appreciated.

If you'd like to help maintain the perlfaq, see the details in
perlfaq.pod.
