And you just want the number? And this is a regular matrix without holes, i.e. all the arrays @domiansX have the same number of elements and no empty cells? Then all elements inside the matrix have 4 neighbors, all elements at the sides have 3 and all elements at the edge of the matrix have 2 neighbors.

If your matrix has holes, you might preset each element to have 4 neighbors and subtract 1 from every neighbor of a hole

PS: It might be easier to store the matrix as a two-dimensional array instead of having each row in a separate array. Check out perllol how to use two-dim arrays aka ArrayOfArrays

Ok, misread your examples. But I still don't get it, why is PF00389.24 not a neighbor of PF11001.3 ? Maybe you could define neighborhood directly instead of using examples
