Re: Regex's and Multidimensional Arrays

[gnosti]

While it appears that the OP needs to learn more about references to use multidimensional arrays, he raises a good question about iterating over multidimensional or other complex data structures. I'll just briefly put in a plug for Brad Bowman's excellent module, Data::Rmap, which offers several ways to accomplish this. In this instance:

use Data::Rmap;

@days=qw(mon tues wed thurs fri sat sun);
@cols=qw(red orange yellow green blue indigo violet);
@vars = (\@days, \@cols);

rmap {s/e/E/g} @vars;

print Dumper(\@vars);
--
$VAR1 = [ 
          [
            'mon',
            'tuEs',
            'wEd',
            'thurs',
            'fri',
            'sat',
            'sun'
          ],
          [
            'rEd',
            'orangE',
            'yEllow',
            'grEEn',
            'bluE',
            'indigo',
            'violEt'
          ]
        ];
