tashworth has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have a need to convert this string into a two dimensional array.

For instance, I need to convert this:

0 X X X X X X X X 1 X X X X X X X X 2 X X X X X X X X 3 X X X X X X X X 4 X X X X X X X X 5 X X X X X X X X 6 X X X X X X X X 7

Into this:

0 X X X X X X X
X 1 X X X X X X
X X 2 X X X X X
X X X 3 X X X X
X X X X 4 X X X
X X X X X 5 X X
X X X X X X 6 X
X X X X X X X 7

In the above instance this happens to be @array 8 x 8 in size, but sometimes it can be more or less. I will be feeding x values (columns) into one for split points and y values into how many rows the array has.
