Okay, lets say your array is like this (Supersplit is the simplest way to create it) 
$ary[0][0]='marge'; $ary[0][1]='phychology'; $ary[0][2]='math';
$ary[1][0]='roy'; # etc...

Then you want to search the first column of that array for the desired rowid, and print it out in an html table. 
my $rowid = $q->param('rowid');  # get the value from our CGI.pm objec
+t

# search the first column for the rowid, and store the first match in 
+$row_ref
my ($row_ref) = grep { $_->[0] eq $rowid } @ary;

# output an html table containing column head labels and a row of data
print '<table>',
  '<tr><td>rowid</td><td>course1</td><td>course2</td></tr>',
  '<tr>', (map {"<td>$_</td>"} @$row_ref), '</tr>',
  '</table>';

Hope that helps in some kind of way, I'm not sure what else you want.
