How to store info from a txt file into a hash?
I'm trying to make a perl script using the "open" command to open and read a file, storing the information in said file into a hash structure.

This is what is inside my file-

Code:
Celena Standard  F 01/24/94 Cancer 
Jeniffer Orlowski  F 06/24/86 None
Brent Koehler  M 12/05/97  HIV
Mao Schleich  M 04/17/60  Cancer
Goldie Moultrie  F 04/05/96  None
Silva Rizzo  F 10/26/78  Amyloidosis
Leatha Papenfuss  F 10/15/97  CREST
Vita Sabb  F 05/28/87  Autism
Alyce Ugarte  F 12/21/64  HIV
Ela Prout  F 12/05/57  Autism
Mohamed Buchannon  M 07/24/91  Caner
Lael Stall  M 12/05/97  None

The first column is a name, the second is gender, third is birthdate, fourth is disease. The name is supposed to be the key while the other three columns are the values.

Also how would I allow the user to change information and output information to another file?
