#!/usr/bin/perl -w use warnings; use strict; my @array; my $num_child_arrays = 10; for (my $count = 0; $count < $num_child_arrays; $count++) { my $array_ref = [ ]; push (@array,$array_ref); } Could probably be done in a shorter format as well... push (@array,[]) for (1..$num_child_arrays); For more info: perldoc -f push -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
