Data::Dumper can be very helpful for understanding what's going on here its no different than doing saying $temp2[$cnt] = [EMAIL PROTECTED]; #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Data::Dumper; my @temp1 = ("Apple", "Orange", "Mango"); my @temp2; my $cnt=0; $temp2[$cnt] = [EMAIL PROTECTED]; print Dumper([EMAIL PROTECTED]); $VAR1 = [ [ 'Apple', 'Orange', 'Mango' ] ]; As you can see here the first element index 0 in your array contains an anonymous array.
