RE: Can you have a function automatically make a set of numbered arrays?

[Timothy Johnson]

It would also work if you wrote it like this:

$count = 0;
$arraycount = 0;
while (<DATA>)  {
        $line = $_;
        @line_items = split (/\s+/, $line);
        ${'array'.$arraycount}[0] = $line_items[3];
        ${'array'.$arraycount}[1] = $line_items[42];
        ++$count;
        ++$arraycount;
}

or this:

$count =0;
$arraycount = 0;

while(<DATA>){
        @line_items = split /\s+/;  #$_ is assumed
        push @{'array'.$arraycount},$line_items[3];
        push @{'array'.$arraycount},$line_items[42];
        ++count;
        ++arraycount;
}

Subject: Can you have a function automatically make a set of numbered
arrays? 


I am trying to write a function which creates a set of
numbered arrays for me (@array1, @array2, @array3 . .
 @arrayn) so I can keep some of the input from a file
I am reading in.  I'm not sure if it's possible in the
first place, or, if so, if my syntax is anywhere close
to correct.  This is the code I have tried.  It gives
me syntax errors about the last few lines and won't
run.  I would appreciate any help or being pointed
towards books which address this.  Please excuse me if
it is a stupid question.  I am just starting.

Thanks.

        @line_items = split (/\s+/, $line);
        $array($arraycount)[0] = $line_items[3];
        $array($arraycount)[1] = $line_items[42];
#etc, assigning some of the junk from input into my 
#special array that i want for sorting later
        ++$count;
        ++$array_count;
                }
