Hello! I have a question. I have a code: (OUT1 refers to textfile)

sub data
  {
    for $arr_ref1 (@full_data)
      {
      for $arr_ref2(@full_data)
            {                      
                for $index (3..$#$arr_ref2)
        {
                     
        $ratio = sprintf( "%.2f%s", $$arr_ref2[$index]/$$arr_ref1[$ind
+ex],"\t");
        print OUT1 "$ratio";
                    
        } 
                print OUT1 "\n"; #print D to E columns into next line 
+after one loop
            }
      
        }
  }

_DATA_ (A to G is just to indicate column location)
A    B    C    D    E    F    G
AX8    0.23    42.4    1    1    1    1
AX4    0.65    53.6    0.2    7.8    9.1    2.3
AX12    0.34    23.9    3.2    7.2    1.2    9.3

My problem here is the (print OUT1 "$ratio";) line onwards. Instead of printing the output into textfile, is it possible to print the output into an array or something so that I can carry on with the calculation of the output from there? I have tried something like this (push data into array) :

 for $index (3..$#$arr_ref2)
        {
                     
        $ratio = sprintf( "%.2f%s", $$arr_ref2[$index]/$$arr_ref1[$ind
+ex],"\t");
        #print OUT1 "$ratio";
                    
        } 
                print OUT1 "\n"; #print D to E columns into next line 
+after one loop
                push (@data1, $ratio1);
                print OUT1 ($data1);
            }

But am not getting the desired output. I just can't figure out how to get those output and store into variables/arrays instead of printing it out. My desired outcome is to put:

D and E (by rows) --> 1st array
F and G (by rows) --> 2nd array

so that I can calculate their average and standard deviation for both arrays and put into the next column beside G. Or is there other way to do it?
