I'd like to split up an array into a bunch of smaller arrays each containing a specified amount of elements. Can't seem to figure out how to get it done.
Say I have an array of undetermined length (happens to be a bunch of image names read from a directory):
@images = ("IMAGE1","IMAGE2","IMAGE3","IMAGE4","IMAGE5","IMAGE6","IMAG
+E7","IMAGE8","IMAGE9","IMAGE10", ect...);
and I want to break it up into smaller arrays of, let's say, three elements each:
@array1 = ("$images[0]","$images[1]","$images[2]");
@array2 = ("$images[3]","$images[4]","$images[5]");
@array3 = ("$images[6]","$images[7]","$images[8]");
@array4 = ("$images[9]");
How can I loop through this array while dynamically assigning a new array name every third time through the loop?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Lyndon.

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).
