Why not cycle through the top-level array, shifting off the bottom element in each sub-array? Something like
@array = ([1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]);
while (grep scalar @{ $_ }, @array) {
for $i (@array) {
print shift @{ $i };
}
}
This has the merit that not only do you not need to code (or even initialise, or know) the number and length of sub-arrays, but they can also be of different lengths.

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).
