in reply to Multidimensional Arrays

Beautiful description. I too have tried over and over to learn this. I ended up creating a moc multi-dimentional array with a hash:

 $qa{"Q1.A3"} ="Question 1, Answer 3"; # dbl Quotes required!

I can iterate through the array answers for Q1 like this:

   for $i (1..5) print $qa{"Q1.A$i"} . '\n';

As an added benefit, I can also create other "properties":

  $qa{"Q1.type"} = "radio";

So, that makes it sort of like a virtual object, which I need to learn someday. This was great. Thanks again. -sleve
