Hi all , I have this data file

b c a

a c d

d e b

And this code reads this data file into a 2d array. 
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
# use PDL;
my @S;
 while (<>) {
        push @S, [ split ];
    }
print "-----TRIPLETS-------\n";
print Dumper \@S;
print "\n$S[0][1]\n";
# Find the number of vertices
my @L;
for my $i ( 0 .. $#S ) {
for my $j ( 0 .. $#{ $S[$i] } ) {
#print "elt $i $j is $S[$i][$j]\n";
push (@L,$S[$i][$j]);
}
}

Now what I want is another array which reads only first two columns of the array @S.

b c

a c

d e
