5.2. Viewing Complex Data with Data :: Dumper

I used data dumper on your script above and this is what i get.

$VAR1 = [
          '1',
          '2',
          '3',
          '4'
        ];
$VAR1 = [
          '5',
          '6',
          '7',
          '8'
        ];
$VAR1 = [
          '9',
          '1',
          '2',
          '3'
        ];
$VAR1 = [
          '4',
          '5',
          '6',
          '7'
        ];

i think i know what your asking and if that is the case this is what is happening.

Code:
LINE: 1 )while (<InFILE> ) {
LINE: 2 )
LINE: 3 )@ar = split ;
LINE: 4 )
LINE: 5 )$arref = \@ar;
LINE: 6 )
LINE: 7 )push(@multiarray,$arref);
.....
....

line 1 says read each line in the file.
line 3 says for each space add a new element to @ar for each items read in $_. (IE: for the first line read in @ar=qw(1 2 3 4)Smilie
line 7 says for each entry to @ar create an anonymous array inside @multiarray. (IE:
@mulriarray=(
[1,2,3,4];
);
)


if you are trying to do something else be as detailed in your question as possable and i am sure we can get you sorted out and pointing in the right direction.
