actually you have hash references there.
You want the structure to look like:
[[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[2,3,4]] to be a list of a list.
To retrieve the second element in the second list, you can access it like this:
question 1:
$var = $LOL->[1][1];
Arrays start with 0 for the first element, 1 for the second, and so on.
