On the same note, how would I incorporate that in with this code to extract the data based on the number of elements in an array? I need to create 6 arrays(for example) from 1 array based on when $test_num = 6; Thanks again everyone... 
foreach $dist_flds (@all_st) {    
    if ($counts < 30) {
        my $news = $dist_flds.",";
        #print "1 $news \n ";
        push(@store_get1,$news);
     }
     if ($counts >= 31 and $counts <= 60) {
         my $news = $dist_flds.",";
        #print "2 $news \n";
        push(@store_get2,$news);
     }
     if ($counts >= 61 and $counts <= 90) {
         my $news = $dist_flds.",";
        #print "3 $news \n";
        push(@store_get3,$news);
     }
etc.........
