I have a simple question.
i have an array that has various kinds of information in it and (5) fields that i want to do something special with.

Now here is the question:
Currently my condition looks like this :
if (defined (@array[9..13]) and @array[9..13] ne "") {
&my_sub ();
}

The Problem with the above conditional is that it will only run &my_sub if all of the 5 array values have some value present in them.
This is what i want to fix. I want to run the sub even if (two or any number) of the five arrays are present.

I guess this will mean that i would have to look at each of these 5 first and do a loop of some kind on each one that is present. But when i tried to use a foreach my result screwed up.

Example 

@array = ( name, address, age, date1, date2, date3, date4, date5);

Take date1 .. date5;

on each encountered date run spcial sub to process each date input(whi
+ch you dont woory about).
