need urgent help regarding arrays

hi all,
I have got 2 arrays @urls and @desp. What I really wanna do is to combine these 2 arrays so that it give me urls and its own description like the first element of the combine array shud be http://www.city.surrey.bc.ac and second element shud be "city university website".

Similarly the third element of the combine array shud be surreycc.gov.uk and the 4th "surrey some description".

then i want to store the combined array in a hash array so that i get keys as website address and desp as value for it.

i have also tried using @combine=(@urls,@desp)
but iam not getting desired output.

@urls=("http://www.city.surrey.bc.ac",
"http://www.surreycc.gov.uk/",
"http://www.surreyweb.org.uk",
"http://www.surreyad.co.uk/");
@desp=("city university website", "surrey some decsription", "surrey some description", "surrey");
@combine=();

foreach $item(@urls)
{
foreach $item2(@desp)
{
push(@combine,$item.$item2);
}
}

can anybody plz help as soon as possible.

thanks,
tie

for ($i =0; $i <= $#urls; $i++) {
$combine[$i * 2] = $urls[$i];
$combine[$i * 2 +1] = $desp[$i];
}

Of course you could be *really* nice for all their hard work, and give the full points to one of them, and then create another question - points for otherperson with the same number of points:)
