Hi Monks,

I have a very simple problem which is driving me slightly mad. The question relates to a variable named @unique_slopes which is within a few nested loops. When I print the contents of the variable it contains many numbers (is this just because it is within the loops??). I need all these numbers I store in @unique_slopes to be in the same array (so I can iterate through it and find what i'm after). Is there a better way for me to store these numbers so that I can split the array and iterate through it? I eventually want to use the for loop at the bottom but am just having problems as everything in @unique_slopes is in $unique_slopes[0].

Cheers monks. 


foreach my $line (@data)   {

   # lots of irrelevent code

   for (my $i =1; $i < @array; $i++)    {

     # once again lots of irrelevent code

     %gradient_hash = map {$matching_temps[$_] => $gradients[$_]} 0 ..
+ $#matching_temps;


     while (($key2, $value2) = each (%gradient_hash))       {
       if (($value2 > 0.1) || ($value2 < -0.1))     {
          @steep_grads = $key2 . '?' . $value2;
          @slopes = $value2;
       }
     }

     @unique_slopes = grep {! $seen2{$_} ++} @slopes;

     print "@unique_slopes<P>";

   }
}

This is what I eventually want to do with @unique_slopes 
   for (my $i = 1; $i < @unique_slopes; $i++)    {
     if (($unique_slopes[$i] < -0.1)  && ($unique_slopes[$i-1] > 0.1))
+ {
       print "PEAKS: $unique_slopes[$i-1] $unique_slopes[$i]<P>";
     }
  }

update (broquaint): added formatting + removed extraneous whitespace in code
