Hi,

I have following code which works ok. It does following:

1. reads data from a input file
2. puts the data into seperate variables in a array
3. reads from this array and prints out to another file

It works except that it prints the same record 4 times. I can see I
have missed some thing in my array definition as their are 4 elements
in array, it is printing 4 times each element and then moving to next
element till it reaches eof().


while (<input>)  #reading a line from file
# Read the line into a set of variables
    ($1,$2,$3,$4)=split(/,/,$_);
....
....
# Buid an array with these varaibles
    my @array = ([$1, $2, $3, $4]);
    foreach my $r(@array) {
    foreach (@$r){

...     print <out> "$1\n";
        print <out> "$2\n";
        print <out> "$3\n";
        print <out> "$4\n";
        print <out> "\n";


The out put is coming like this:

yellow
blue
orange
red

yellow
blue
orange
red

yellow
blue
orange
red

yellow
blue
orange
red

black
white
red
pink

black
white
red
pink

black
white
red
pink

black
white
red
pink

Clearly it should just print one time and go to the next record....

Please suggest.
