in reply to dynamic matrix

See Re: text processing - convert list of vectors to tabular format for a variation on this theme that uses $table->[$horiz]->[$vert] type syntax, which to my mind seems more "matrixlike" than tirwan's solution above. I think this way it is easier to grab the horizontal vectors if that's what you want to do, or the verticals if you want them. Whereas in tirwan's solution , feels to me like one axis is "preferred." (The horizontal vectors.)

    Well, all you need to do to use the same syntax with my solution is

    $table=\@matrix;

      True. And thanks for pointing that out, enlightening. However, I still feel like 
      my $matrix =[ [1,5,7],
                [2,3,4],
                [5,1,9],
                [7,8],
                [3]
              ] ;

      feels more "aesthetically" right than setting it up with @matrix like you did above, and then $matrix = \@matrix... even if both are equivalent.
