in reply to confusing question, involving multidemensional arrays

Some useful modules to deal with building, inspecting, and manipulating nested arrays are:
  • Data::DRef
  • Data::Dumper
  • Data::Denter

    And the best book I've found for learning how to deal with nested perl structures is "Advanced Perl Programming" by Sriram Srinivasan, which you can probably get for cheap as Perl 5 is on it's way out the door.
