in thread Slurping strings from text file and pushing to array?

Thanks, but wouldn't that put each line of the text file as an element in an array? What I need is each line to be it's own array and each comma separated chunk of text to be an element in one of those arrays.

Or am I mis-understanding?

    my @lines;

@ARGV = $file;
while (<>) {
    my @fields = ...;
    push @lines, \@fields;
}

    @{$lines[0]} is the array for the first line.
    @{$lines[1]} is the array for the second line.
    etc
