By one definition, arrays in Perl are only one dimensional, so there is only one row (or column) to print.
For instance, examining a 2D array in the debugger gives:
DB<1> @x = ( [qw(a b c)], [qw(d e f)], [qw(g h i)])
DB<2> x @x
0 ARRAY(0x15d5240)
0 'a'
1 'b'
2 'c'
1 ARRAY(0x1cbe3f4)
0 'd'
1 'e'
2 'f'
2 ARRAY(0x1cbe430)
0 'g'
1 'h'
2 'i'
DB<3>
This shows, for instance, that
$x[0] is an array reference (
ARRAY(0x15d5240)), and points to an array equivalent to
qw(a b c).
To print a single row of a multidimensional array, you must first define which is the row index.
For the first index, this works:
my @x = ( [qw(a b c)], [qw(d e f)], [qw(g h i)]);
my $row = 1; # print this row
foreach my $col (0..$#{$x[$row]} )
{
print "$x[$row][$col]\n";
}
prints
d
e
f
If you need something more general, speak up.
