Well it would be easier to help you if we had the code which builds up the data structure. Looking at your code and the results you're getting I'd guess that:

• $array contains a reference to an array
• each element of the array referenced in $array is a reference to another array

The code you want is probably something like this:

foreach ($@array) {
  print join ', ', @$_;
  print "\n";
}

You should read perldoc perllol for more details on how this works.

Cheers, Ben.

An array can only hold scalars, so you have an array of array-refs referenced to by $arrays :-)
Try

foreach(@{$arrays}) {
    print @{$_};
}

Hi Tomte,

To save all the values running into each other, you might want to quote the arrays, like


print "@$_\n" for @$arrays;
