I have an array of arrays (sorted one), and I am looking in for a way to slice the elements based on a particular column values. An Example might help, 
@arr = ([12, "abc", 30],
        [24, "abc", 30],
        [26, "abc", 30],
        [14, "abc", 40],
        [46, "abc", 40],
        [2, "abc", 50]);

#I want to slice them based on column 3, such that

@arr1 = ([12, "abc", 30],
         [24, "abc", 30],
         [26, "abc", 30]);

@arr2 = ([14, "abc", 40],
         [46, "abc", 40]);

@arr3 = ([2, "abc", 50]);

And yes, the values in column 3 aren't fixed one. They can be any number, and I want to group arrays based on its value.

Any help will be appreciated.
