I'm sure fresher eyes will come up with a better solution - or just tell me what's wrong with this
my $cnr = 0;
while ($cnr < 1) {
my $xda = int rand (0 .. $total);
if ( $aob[$xda][ $y - 1 ] ne q{}) {
$aob[$x][$y] = $z + $aob[$xda][ $y - 1 ];
$cnr++;
}
}
What this is supposed to do is find the first non-empty randomly chosen member of @aob line $y-1 (which has numbers and blanks) and assign that value plus $z to $aob[$x][$y]. Unfortunately,the script just sits with a blinking cursor at this section, so I assume it's in a loop.
Warnings and strict are on, no warnings.
Now, I do have a cludgy work around
Never mind - looking back at my cludgy work around and tweaking it: my @delarray = ( 0 .. $total )
my $cnr = 0;
my @dlarray = shuffle @delarray;
for my $xd ( 0 .. $total ) {
my $xda = $dlarray[$xd];
if ( $cnr <= 1 && defined $aob[$xda][ $y - 1 ] ) {
$aob[$x][$y] = $z + $aob[$xda][ $y - 1 ];
$cnr++;
}
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
