probably the code below is not the best way to do it, but it's something I understand (or at least I thought I understood). Intention is to read 3 lines of characters (say 1111111, 2222222, 3333333) and store them in a 2 dimensional array $a(1,1) through $a(3,7) (I know, I know, I should start from 0, but I don't think that's the issue).
The thing is, when I print the array inside the loop, I nicely get 1111111, 2222222, 3333333 as output. However, when I try to print outside the loop, I get 3 times my last input (3333333, 3333333, 3333333).
I don't understand how this happens. Please enlighten me.
TIA
Please note, the square brackets around the indices were lost in translation somewhere, the syntax is hence not the problem.

for ($i=1;$i<=3;$i++)
 {
  $ingang=<>;
  chomp $ingang;

  ($a[$i,1],$a[$i,2],$a[$i,3],$a[$i,4],$a[$i,5],$a[$i,6],$a[$i,7])=spl
+it('',$ingang);
 }

print "Resultaat\n";

for ($p=1;$p<=3;$p++)
 {
  for ($j=1;$j<=7;$j++)
   {
    print $a[$p,$j];
   }
  print "\n";
 }
