You could keep a counter; and print each item followed by a comma if counter-mod-3, or by a newline otherwise:
@array = qw (1 1 0 2 0 1 3 0 0 4 1 1);
my $i;
print $_, ((++$i%3)?",":"\n") for (@array);
Update:
Per your other question, If (and it may in future) contain references how can i print those and not ARRAY(0x860be48) etc?, ref is your friend:
my $q = "Q";
my @p = qw(pee pea);
my %h = ( one => 1, two => 2, three => 3);
@array = ("1", \@p, "0", "2", "0", \$q, "2", "0", \%h, "4", "1", "1");
my $i;
for my $a (@array) {
$_ = ref($a);
print ( /ARRAY/ ? join(':',@$a) :
/HASH/ ? join(':',keys %$a) :
/SCALAR/ ? $$a :
$a
);
print ((++$i%3) ? "," : "\n" );
}
