Here's my version (I did need to peek at the Cookbook). I think this is what you asked for... my @AoA = ( [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12], ['A'..'L'], ); my (@AoA1, @AoA2, @AoA3, @AoA4); for (0..$#AoA) { # slice of AoA -- note position of {}s for AoA slice !!!! push @AoA1, [ @{$AoA[$_]}[0..3] ]; push @AoA2, [ @{$AoA[$_]}[4..7] ]; push @AoA3, [ @{$AoA[$_]}[8..9] ]; push @AoA4, [ @{$AoA[$_]}[10..11] ]; } # print Dumper([EMAIL PROTECTED]); print "Array 1:\n"; foreach (@AoA1) { print "@{$_}\n"; } print "\n\n"; print "Array 2:\n"; foreach (@AoA2) { print "@{$_}\n"; } print "\n\n"; print "Array 3:\n"; foreach (@AoA3) { print "@{$_}\n"; } print "\n\n"; print "Array 4:\n"; foreach (@AoA4) { print "@{$_}\n"; } __END__ Output: Array 1: 1 2 3 4 A B C D Array 2: 5 6 7 8 E F G H Array 3: 9 10 I J Array 4: 11 12 K L Am I close? -K -- Kevin Pfeiffer International University Bremen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
