multidimensional Array

[Tristan]

how to put more arrays in one?

@array1 = qw(Quarter Dime Nickel Penny);
@array2 = qw(test1 test2 test3 test4);
@array3 = (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10);
@array4 = (11,22,33,44,55);


I want to have only one multidimensional array. How to do it?

Thanks.

Here is your fish:

my @array = (
[ qw(Quarter Dime Nickel Penny) ],
[ qw(test1 test2 test3 test4) ],
[ 1 .. 10 ],
[ 11, 22, 33, 44, 55 ],
);

Here is where you learn how to fish:

There are no true multidimensional arrays in Perl. But what you
can use instead is an arrary of array references, e.g.

my @array = ( [ qw( Quarter Dime Nickel Penny ) ],
[ qw( test1 test2 test3 test4 ) ],
[ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) ],
[ 11, 22, 33, 44, 55 ] );

Now e.g. $array[1][3] (or $array[1]->[3], if you prefer the
slightly longer version) is the string 'test4'.
