Re^2: General Solution: initializing multidimensional arrays

Your base case was a level off: your sub guarantees that the bottom level arrays will have one element each. A correction:

sub multiDimInit {
    my( $value, $dim ) = ( shift, shift );
    return ($value) x $dim unless @_;
    return map [multiDimInit( $value, @_ )], 1 .. $dim;
}

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

The "good enough" maybe good enough for the now, and perfection maybe unobtainable, but that should not preclude us from striving for perfection, when time, circumstance or desire allow.
