Well, first off, that's no where near an array of arrays. You've got an array taking a single element which is a hashref pointing to an anonymous hash, constructed by taking alternating pairs of values, like:

@in = ({
  M => 'N',
  M => 'N',
  Q => 'P',
  O => 'C',
  ...
});

So, if you started with that, you definitely need to figure out how to write your original problem first.

I could recommend perllol or perldsc as starting points.

You missed this opportunity so I had to post it for you here We know what BrowserUK meant and as he posts quality answers and interesting questions I reckon HWIWHM is the go rather than giving him a RTFM. cheers tachyon s&&rsenoyhcatreve&&&s&n.+t&"$'$`$\"$\&"&ee&&y&srve&&d&&print	[reply]

Your right of course. I should have taken more care when writing up my question. I printed the output from the AoA and then wrapped it up to suggest the structure but made a mess of it. ..and remember there are a lot of things monks are supposed to be but lazy is not one of them Examine what is said, not who speaks. 1) When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong. 2) The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible 3) Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
