Keep in mind that an array is a list of scalar "things".

Luckily, since array references are scalar "things", your primary array can be made to hold 361 scalar references, each of which is referencing a unique 361-element array.

For those "secondary" arrays, your job is to somehow create 361 lists (arrays) and still be able to access them as scalar references. But hey, you can get one of those with [(0) x 361]

You only need to push 360 more onto the primary list where you stored that first one. :-)

Note: thanks to ikegami for pointing out the mistake with my previous statement that:

@row = ((0) x 361); is creating a one-element list whose element is a scalar string of 361 zeros.('0000000000000000 ... 00000')
