if you are just trying to access a set of nested arrays, use something like
my @parent=([1,2,3], [7,8,9]); print "$parent[0][1]\n"; # outputs 2 print "$parent[1][2]\n"; # outputs 9 ## now to access the the info, use references foreach my $num(@parent){ foreach my $kid(@$num){ print "$kid\n"; } } check out 'Learning Perl', 'Programming Perl' and the 'Perl Cookbook' for excellent examples. also 'perldoc perlref' at your shell prompt should pull up the perl reference info, but it is a little esoteric... www.perldoc.com is a great source of info as well. > > > > #Create a multi-dimensional array > > > > my @parent= (@array1, > > @array2); > > > > #Spit out the info in the arrays > > > > foreach $i ($parent($array1)) { > > print "$parent($array1[$i]) is part of $parent($array2[$i])\n"; } > > Sorry, I can't figure out at all what you're trying to do here.
