I'm trying to create an array of arrays using array references. I think I've narrowed the problem down. When I attempt to print out the array of arrays, I get the same data for each array reference. I printed out all of the reference numbers to arrays and they were all the same.

Maybe my code will help explain: 


foreach my $file (@homes) {
 open(HOUSE, "<$base_directory/homes/$file") || die  &show_error("Unab
+le to open file in sort routine");
 @home = <HOUSE>;
close(HOUSE);

    # create array of arrays
    chomp(@home);
    push @sorted, \@home;
    
    }

When I print the references stored in the array, i get ARRAY(0x8108f20) ARRAY(0x8108f20) ARRAY(0x8108f20). How do I get this code to create different array references, so that when I go to use the data, I get different information each time through. Basically, N different array references based on what is read in from "$file". Hope this makes sense.
