Good morning monks!

1) Initialize a nDeep structure with zeros: 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my $deeepness = 5;

my @nDeep = ();

my $dimention = 5;

for my $deep0 (0..$dimention-1) {
    for my $deep1 (0..$dimention-1) {
        for my $deep2 (0..$dimention-1) {
            for my $deep3 (0..$dimention-1) {
                for my $deep4 (0..$dimention-1) {
                    $nDeep[$deep0][$deep1][$deep2][$deep3][$deep4] = 0
+;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

2) Do stuff with the structure, add data, etc.

3) Unfold the structure into a 2D array: 

for my $deep0 (0..$dimention-1) {
    for my $deep1 (0..$dimention-1) {
        for my $deep2 (0..$dimention-1) {
            for my $deep3 (0..$dimention-1) {
                for my $deep4 (0..$dimention-1) {
                    push @{$AoA[$deep0]}, $nDeep[$deep0][$deep1][$deep
+2][$deep3][$deep4];
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

for my $row (0..$#AoA) {
    print "@{$AoA[$row]}\n";
    }

I would be interested in this all happening only by specifying a deepness level (my $deepness = 5 in this case).

Thanks for sharing your enlightening knowledge and your time, always very much appreciated.
