Hi All,

I'm sure this may have been asked earlier but I searched quite a bit for this and am unable to find something that matches my requirement.

Ok Here is the deal - I have an empty list to start with, say @bigList, to which I keep pushing smaller lists - in a loop. Essentially, when the loop finishes, the @bigList list will now be a list of lists, like so:

@tempList = <obtained in another part of the code>
<LOOP HERE>
{
     push(@bigList, @tempList);
}

Now, later on in the code, I want to retreive the individual lists that I pushed into @bigList, how do I do this? I read about dereferencing, and getting the reference of the array, but I end up getting the reference of @bigList and not the individual arrays.

Tried the following:

Help!
