I am trying to define arrays using foreach loop. I know that my syntax is wrong, can you suggest a better way of doing this.

@thearray is created based on user input.

@thearray = (1, 4, 6)
my $line = <INFILE>;
my @column = split " ", $line;
@bigarray = (@array_1, @array_2, @array_3, @array_4,@array_5, @array_6
+);
foreach(my $i = 0; $i <= $#thearray; $i++)   {
  push @bigarray[$thearray[$i]], [$line, $column[$thearray[$i]];
}

desired result:

@array_1 = [$line, $column[1]]
@array_4 = [$line, $column[4]]
@array_6 = [$line, $column[6]]

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
