Hello Monks, I am trying the following example: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

my @refarray1 = (qw[this is the first line],
                qw[Second one is here],
                qw[squint your eyes to see the third],
                qw[fourth is surely near],);
print "$refarray1[0]\n";

my $refarray2 = [qw[this is the first line],
                qw[Second one is here],
                qw[squint your eyes to see the third],
                qw[fourth is surely near],];
print "$refarray2->[0]\n";

Both produce the same result, the output is it prints out the word "this". What do I do if I want to print out the entire contents of one of the elements? I dont mean the whole four lines, but say, I just want to print out one line, how do I do that in case I have created an array of references or an array reference to a reference of arrays (whee, I'mgetting wordy here, and confused too)
