Another option would be
my %my_array;
$my_array{0,0} = "fred";
print $my_array{0,3};
In this case the data structure is actually a hash where the key is
$x . $; . $y
that is the first index, a strange character and the second index.
The second is better for big, sparse arrays (arrays that are mostly
empty).
