Hello Monks,

I have what is probably a simple problem but can't seem to get my head around it.

My first array looks like this...

my @start = ('dog','cat','bird','mouse','rat','snake','horse','cow','p +ig','lizard','lamb','zebra','lion','elephant','monkey');
I want to create a new array for each element from @start and that has 3 random elements from @start appended to it. I want to end up with something like this...
my @want = ('dog lizard bird lamb', 'cat pig lion monkey', 'bird elephant bird horse', 'mouse cow rat zebra', 'rat snake mouse cat', 'snake pig dog cow', 'horse cat mouse zebra', 'cow monkey cat pig', 'pig bird dog lamb', 'lizard mouse lion dog', 'lamb lion pig zebra', 'zebra monkey bird mouse', 'lion horse snake lizard', 'elephant pig mouse zebra', 'monkey rat bird cat');
Any help or guidance is most appreciated!
