>>Because the # of para's will change with the writer, I need to be able to just iterate over the list, but I don't want to display the whole array ($array4 and beyond). I've tried for(), while(), and foreach(), with no luck. >>

I don't fully understand what you want. But here are some things you can do with your array format

Process whole array:  for(each)? (@array)

Process parts of an array:

for (@array[0 .. 3]) #access contents in $_ I don't know if this is what you wanted, this is all the elements except for the paragraphs

for (@array[4 .. $#array]) #this is all the paragraphs

In your array, to print all of the paragraphs (is this what you wanted?), just use this: 

print "$_\n" for (@array[4 .. $#array]);

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.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
