Hi

Let say I have a multidimensional array and every time the number of dimensions is different. I don't have apriori information about the number of dimensions thus i need to recursively access each and figure out if there is more depth or not. But I also need to copy this array into another and modify it (let say increment). Curently I am trying to do it like this:

sub new {
    my ($class) = @_;

    my $self->{_mtx_} = [];

    bless $self, $class;
    return $self;
}




sub copycomp_matrix {

  my ($self, $arg) = @_;

  $self->_recurse($arg,$self->{_mtx_});

  print Dumper($self->{_mtx_});

}

sub _recurse {

  my ($self, $in, $out) = @_;

  for (my $i = 0;$i<@{$in};$i++){

    if (ref $in->[$i] eq 'ARRAY'){
      $self->_recurse($in->[$i], $out->[$i]);
    }else{
      if (!$out->[$i]){
        $out->[$i] = $in->[$i] ;
      }else{
        $out->[$i] = $in->[$i] +1 ;
      }
    }
  }
}
