Hi Monks. Is there any way I can use grep to parse through a 2D array and extract rows for which particular elements are greater than a specific value. Consider the following example: 
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

my @arr;

@arr = (
    [ 'A', 1,  0,  5,  6,  2 ],
    [ 'B', 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ],
    [ 'C' , 2 , 4  ,3  ,5 ],
    [ 'D' , 6 , 7 , 8  ,8 ],
    [ 'E' , 2 , 5 , 4 , 5 ],
    [ 'F' , 4 , 3 , 2  ,2 ],
    [ 'G' , 1 , 2 , 4,  5 ],
    [ 'H' , 1 , 4 , 5,  6 ]
);

my @rows = grep { grep {$_ > 6} @$_ } @arr;  
print Dumper(\@rows);

The above code checks the each 'row' of the 2D array and extracts those arrays(1D)/entries if any of the column entries is greater than the threshold( in this case, 6). I would like to able to set multiple checks across multiple columns,i.e. for eg: extract rows for which the second column entry > 4 and 4th column entry > 3 and so on.

Any idea how to do this ? Thanks in advance
