Wrong direction. You need to stuff data into a single data structure (like an OBJECT). Example
#!/usr/bin/perl -- use strict; use warnings; my @jobs; for ( 1 .. 3){ my $job = { Desc => "desc goes here $_", Time => "time goes here $_", Outcond => "outcond goes here $_", Incond => "Incond goes here $_", # ... }; push @jobs, $job; } use Data::Dumper; print Dumper(\@jobs),$/; __END__ $VAR1 = [ { 'Outcond' => 'outcond goes here 1', 'Time' => 'time goes here 1', 'Incond' => 'Incond goes here 1', 'Desc' => 'desc goes here 1' }, { 'Outcond' => 'outcond goes here 2', 'Time' => 'time goes here 2', 'Incond' => 'Incond goes here 2', 'Desc' => 'desc goes here 2' }, { 'Outcond' => 'outcond goes here 3', 'Time' => 'time goes here 3', 'Incond' => 'Incond goes here 3', 'Desc' => 'desc goes here 3' } ];

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
