Here is a similar example of what I am trying to do:

@name = qw (Sam Tom John Mike Andrea);
@scores = qw (92 80 59 83 88);

I need to store thes

Answer 1

Assuming you want to keep them as separate arrays, stick references to them in a hash first:

my %data = ( names => \@names, scores => \@scores );

Then use the JSON module to serialize the data structure to JSON, e.g.:

use strict;
use warnings;

use JSON;

my @names  = qw (Sam Tom John Mike Andrea);
my @scores = qw (92 80 59 83 88);

my %data = ( names => \@names, scores => \@scores );

my $json = encode_json \%data;

print $json

Output:

{"names":["Sam","Tom","John","Mike","Andrea"],"scores":["92","80","59","83","88"]}
