$OrigArray is a reference to an array. @$OrigArray is the array referenced by the reference $OrigArray.
# Grab an array reference from Spreadsheet::ParseExcel my $OrigArray = $worksheet->Range("A76:B9107")->{'Value'}; # Iterate through that array reference for (@$OrigArray) { # At this point, the elements in $OrigArray are now each # put into $_. However, $_ seems to, itself, be an array # reference. (I've never used this feature of Spreadsheet::ParseEx +cel, # but I know the syntax explanation is correct, based on # the code in front of me. print ++$count, ":", join(",", @$_), "\n"; }
Sometimes, it can help to explain what it is you're trying to do. Maybe we have solutions to your root problem, not your symptom.

Don't go borrowing trouble. For programmers, this means Worry only about what you need to implement.
