yes -- that's creating a 2-D array.. When in doubt of what a data structure contains, a easy way to look at it is to just use Data::Dumper like this:
use Data::Dumper; print Dumper \@list_of_lists; __END__ OUTPUT: $VAR1 = [ [ 'Mustang', 'Bronco', 'Ranger' ], [ 'Cavalier', 'Suburban', 'Buick' ], [ 'Lebaron', 'Ram' ] ];
quick side note -- example of accessing that structure:
print $list_of_lists[1]->[2]; # Buick
