I am making a PDF , which using PDF::Table I am making a table inside that PDF. What I am trying to do is make the table dynamic, cause I am passing variables and I do not want a blank table row if the variable is empty. This is what I have tried so far: 

my $some_data =[

    ["HP Hardware", "Total Cost"],

    [$hardware1, $hardwareValue1],

            [$hardware2, $hardwareValue2],

            [$hardware3, $hardwareValue3],

            [$hardware4, $hardwareValue4],

            [$hardware5, $hardwareValue5],

            [$hardware6, $hardwareValue6],

            [$hardware7, $hardwareValue7],

            [$hardware8, $hardwareValue8],

            [$hardware9, $hardwareValue9],

            [$hardware10, $hardwareValue10],

            [$hardware11, $hardwareValue11],

            [$hardware12, $hardwareValue12],

            [$hardware13, $hardwareValue13],

            [$hardware14, $hardwareValue14],

            [$hardware15, $hardwareValue15],

 ];

 

for (my $i=0; $i< scalar($some_data); $i++) {

 

            if ($hardware[$i] eq "") {

                        

            }

 

}

I am thinking if the variable is blank I want to delete the row from $some_data, I don't know the syntax to do it, I also Tried 

 my @tableData = $some_data;

for (my $i=0; $i< scalar(@tableData); $i++) {

    my @row = $tableData[$i];
    for ( my $j=0; $j< scalar(@row) ;$j++) {
        my $cell = $row[$j];

        if (($cell eq "") || ($cell eq " ")) {

            splice(@tableData, @row, @row)
        }
    }

}

Any help or suggestions would be helpful, thanks Ben
