If I create a multidimensional array using the following:
#!/usr/bin/perl
my @ar1;
$ar1[0][0] = "one";
$ar1[0][1] = "two";
$ar1[1][0] = "three";
$ar1[1][1] = "four";
$ar1[1][2] = "five";
my $count = scalar @{ $ar1[1] };
print "count = $count\n";
./ar1
count = 3
However, if I create the array this way it doesn't work:
#!/usr/bin/perl
my @ar1;
$ar1 = (["one", "two"], ["three", "four", "five"]);
my $count = scalar @{ $ar1[1] };
print "count = $count\n";
./ar1
count =
What is the correct way to access / count the array elements using the array creation method in the second code segment?
Thanks, ...Kurt

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
