Why can't I initialize a 2d array like this? (Perl)

[Lisa L]

Hello all!

I was wondering why I cannot initialize a 2d array like this?

my @array1;
my @array2;
foreach my $obj (0..$#valueList ){
$array1[$obj] = ($varible1, $variable2, $variable3);
$array2[$obj] = ($obj);
}

When I try to print the array out by
foreach my var(@array2){
print @{$var};
}

The printing does not work? Is it impossible to initialize the array like array #2?

Use square brackets to create a reference:

$array1[$obj] = [($varible1, $variable2, $variable3)];

In Perl, 2D arrays are known as Arrays-of-Arrays.
