Hello
llarochelle
you can also use a boustrophedon distribution:
use Data::Dump
my @A = (1..12);
my $data;
my $i = 0;
while (@A){
push @{$data->[$i]},shift @A;
$i == 3 ? $i = -1 : $i == -4 ? $i = 0 : $i < 0 ? $i-- : $i
+++;
}
dd $data;
__DATA__
[
[1, 8, 9],
[2, 7, 10],
[3, 6, 11],
[4, 5, 12]
]
See also How to get this not the usual round robin looping for more examples about such distribution

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
