Re: 2d array

Try this:

use Modern::Perl;
use Data::Dump qw /dd/;

my @array_2d;

push @array_2d, do {chomp; [split ',']} while (<DATA>);

dd(@array_2d);

__DATA__
71,22,15,10,51
91,82,28,11,91
11,72,37,58,20
21,42,63,24,16
81,32,53,54,42

Printing your 2D array is done much easier, less error prone and more "perlish" as follows (if you do not want to use the Data::Dump or Data::Dumper functions):

for my $row_ref (@array_2d) {
    for my $item (@$row_ref) {
        print "$item ";
    }
    print "\n";
}

Actually your print routine contains an error: it only works because you have the same number of columns as rows! Do you spot your error?

Hi CountZero, Sorry I didn't explain my question well. I updated the question with script. Can you please suggest me how to resolve the issues. Thanks Jit	[reply]

It is difficult to give you a turn-key solution since we do not know the format of your input data, but perhaps you can get some inspiration from the following: use Modern::Perl; my @two_d_array; my %dictionary; sub add_data { chomp @_; my $type = shift; my $datapoints = shift; state $sequence; push @two_d_array, [ split ',', $datapoints ]; $dictionary{$type} = $sequence++; } while ( my $species = <DATA> ) { my $breaks = <DATA>; add_data( $species, $breaks ); } say "$_:\t@{ @two_d_array[ $dictionary{$_} ] }" for sort keys %diction +ary; __DATA__ Chimp 71,22,15,10,51 Dog 91,82,28,11,91 Horse 11,72,37,58,20 Human 21,42,63,24,16 Monkey 81,32,53,54,42 Pig 10,13,99,12,25 Rat 9,17,87,33,11 [download] The subroutine expects two parameters: the first is the name of the species and the second is the string of datapoints ("breaks" as you call them). It pushes the array_ref of the "breaks" on the `@two_d_array` and puts the name of the species as a key in the `$dictionary` hash with value the index of the corresponding "breaks" in the `@two_d_array`. As you can see in the output routine (line 20), we walk the `$dictionary` hash and pull out the corresponding "breaks" from the `@two_d_array`.
