Hi Monks!

I am stuck on this code. This is the best way to describe what I am trying to do.
I have a form with 3 options.
First option will select just random 2 elements of array @acc.
Second option I could attach a random 2 values either from array @sec or @third or from both and print the result.
I am hoping to get something like this:
e.g. AX1 - AX3 ( random 2 elements from array @acc.)
or AX1PB7 AX2PB8 ( 2 random values of the array @acc with 2 random values from array @sec, and so on if I add the option to add 2 more random element from @third.
I hope it explains, here if a test code:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dumper; # Any Choice or combination coming from a form: my $test1 = "1"; my $test2 = ""; my $test3 = ""; my @acc = ('AX1', 'AX2', 'AX3',); my @sec = ('PB6', 'PB7', 'PB8',); my @third = ('XC2', 'XC8', 'XC1',); my $result; for (my $l = 0; $l < @acc; ++$l) { $result = $acc[rand @acc]; if($test2){ for (my $k = 0; $k < @sec; ++$k) { my$c2 = $acc[$l]; my$week2 = $sec[$k]; $result = $acc[$l].$sec[$k]; } } =code if($test3){ for (my $y = 0; $y < @third; ++$y) { my $days = $acc[$l]; my $week = $sec[$k]; my $holy = $third[$y]; $result = $acc[$l].$sec[$k].$third[$y]; } } =cut } print " $result\n";
Thanks for looking!
