in thread Group array in threes

Homework - i wish! What the array actually contains is molecular statistics and pharmacokinetic results.

If (and it may in future) contain references how can i print those and not ARRAY(0x860be48) etc?

Thanks

    Here is a simple solution with arrayref and one that can cope with array sizes not having multiples of threes

    my $array= [1,2,3,4,5];

while (@$array) {
    push my @r, shift @$array if (@$array);
    push @r, shift @$array if (@$array);
    push @r, shift @$array if (@$array);
    print join(',',@r),"\n";
}
