Hello Monks

I'm new to programming - and I though that PERL would be a great place to start (as my aim to to make my researchs groups knowlage avalible on the web - to the world as i'm sure they are all interested).

I'd like someone to take a look at my code if possible. I think that its creating an array of arrays but I'm not 100% sure. Now i know if I start putting all the sub-routines together before I know they work I'm in bother! 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;

use warnings;


# subroutine to build AoA
# example data from file being used

# InterPro:IPR000005 Helix-turn-helix, AraC type > GO:regulation of tr
+anscription, DNA-dependent ; GO:0006355

# InterPro:IPR000005 Helix-turn-helix, AraC type > GO:intracellular ; 
+GO:0005622

# InterPro:IPR000006 Vertebrate metallothionein > GO:metal ion binding
+ ; GO:0046872

# note from a VERY large file


my @i2g;
my @miniarray;
my @i2glines;
my $line;
my ($ipid,$ipdesc,$godesc,$goid);


open (FILE, "interpro2go.txt");


@i2glines = <FILE>;


foreach $line (@i2glines) {
  if ($line =~ /\s*InterPro\:(\S+)\s(.+) > (.+) ; (.+)/){
        my ($ipid,$ipdesc,$godesc,$goid);
        @miniarray = ($ipid, $ipdesc, $godesc, $goid);
        push @i2g, [ @miniarray ];
    }
}


print "job done? Doing something but the correct thing?";


print @i2g;


# !!!!!!!!!!! return for use to the main prog keeping AoA avaliable to
+ the main_processing (na other subroutine!!


close FILE;


exit;

What I intend to do is search this array using an array of values pulled from a hash of arrays. The key to the Hash of arrays is unique but the elements that I need to search here are not that's why I opted for the array of arrays.

Cheers
