Hi, How can i get the index of the row and column where the data is missing or corrupt in the table?? Here is what I was trying: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
#use strict;
#use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

my @array;
my $line="";
my @data;
my @list;
my $maps_dir="";
my $dir="";
my $part_no="";
my $chg_lvl="";
my $int_lock="";
my $t_spec="";
my $file="";
my $FILE;
my $i=0;
my $num_of_columns;
my $x;
my $y;
my $temp="No";
my $temp1;
my $temp2;

if ($#ARGV == -1)
{
        print("Enter a part number file name:\n");
        chomp($file=<>);
}
else
{
        $file=$ARGV[0];
}
if(!-e $file)
{
        print "File:$file does not exist";
}
open ($FILE,"<$file");
while(<$FILE>)
{
    $i++;
    chomp;
    @data=split/\s+/;
    push @list, [split/\s+/];
    $num_of_columns=@data;
}
#print Dumper( @list ), "\n\n"; 
#print "Number of rows is $i\n";
#print "Number of columns is $num_of_columns\n";

for($x=0;$x<=$i;$x++)
{
        for($y=0;$y<=$num_of_columns;$y++)
        {
                if(!$list[$x][$y])
                {
                        $temp1=$x;
                        $temp2=$y;

                }
        }
}
print $temp1;----->Here it prints the last row instead of the index wh
+ere there is no data
#print $list[1][5], "\n"; # print
close($FILE);
