in reply to Re^2: Map a string to an array
in thread Map a string to an array

Not sure what you're asking. Do you want to make a copy of a 2D array? Or if you don't really need a copy, can you just use the reference.
my @arr = ( [1,2], [3,4], ); my %hash = ( FirstKey => \@arr ); my $aref = $hash{FirstKey}; my $row0 = $aref->[0]; push @$row0, 99; use Data::Dumper; print Dumper \%hash;
