Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Learned Monks, I have constructed a two dimensional array of data and I wish to extract certain columns. I have attempted to use a slice notation thus;
my @slice = @2darray([o][3]...[25][3]); # [3] is the column I want
This form (if I recal correctly) does not cause "strict" to barf all over my console however what it does retrieve is EVERY element from [0][3] to [25][3]. So, is it possible using a slice type notation to get one column of data or am I (urm) barfing up the wrong tree? many thanks.
