I am new to perl. I have to convert the format of data as follows:
Existing data format:
(Please note that actual data contains more number of rows and colmns.. and not pre-defined)
-----------------------
1 2 3
a b c
x y z
-----------------------
The data format I need is:
-----------------------
1 a x
2 b y
3 c z
-----------------------
I am going to use the new formatted data for an input to create graphs. I have all the necessary modules installed but this logic (I know it is not very complicated, but I am not getting it).
Please advice how to take it forward.
My final objective is to get the data in variable in somthing similar to following:
my @data = (['1','a','x' ], ['2','b','y' ], ['3','c','z' ]);
Please help.

Folks,
The fact is that I am totally lost now :-)
My objective was/is: To read a flat file which has SAR (system activity reporter) data and then to generate the graph using that data. I have module for graph but the problem here is the data needs to be transversed (row-> columns). My data looks like:
17:12:41 0 0 0 100
17:12:42 0 1 0 99
17:12:43 0 0 0 100
:

And for the graph creation, I need this data in following format:
17:12:41 17:12:42 17:12:43 : : ... ... ...
0 0 0 : : ... ... ...
0 1 0 : : ... ... ...
0 0 0 : : ... ... ...
100 99 100 : : ... ... ...
Finally, to get an array like below:
my @data = (
['17:12:41','17:12:42','17:12:43'.........],
['0','1','0'.........],
['0','0','0'.........],
['100','99','100'.....]);
