Well, you aren't 'escaping' the @ in the array name.
You're taking a reference to the original array itself
if you print $data[0] you'll see that it's an array reference, and needs to
be accessed via @{ $data[0] }.
I'm not sure this is the best way of doing this, in this case... THe only
reason I can think of to use arrays in this manner is because you need the
data in a particular order.
What's wrong with using the hash itself to store the data? Maybe I need to
back up and look at the original post again. *headscratching*
