in reply to Two dimensional array problem

I think your problems stem from your use of curly brackets when you define your array. @column_info is a list containing exactly one element -- a reference to a rather strange hash. To see what you're doing wrong, try adding:
use Data::Dumper; print Dumper(\@Column_Info);
If you get rid of the curlies (use round parentheses instead), then you'll be able to reference the array as:
my @array = ( [0,0], [0,1], [1,0], [1,1] ); for (my $x=0; $x<4; $x++) { for (my $y=0; $y<2; $y++) { printf "%d,%d = %n", $x, $y, $array[$x][$y]; } }
