A question on Hashes	Can't Post

Code

@array = (Jack Ginger Gel Jam);  
foreach i (0..4) {  
   $in1[$i]{$in2[$i]{$in3[$i]{$in4[$i]}}}{arr} = @array ;  
   print "$in1[$i]{$in2[$i]{$in3[$i]{$in4[$i]}}}{arr} = **@array**" ;  
}

When I assign in this manner..

The output of this print statement is

12 = **Jack Ginger Gel Jam**

Could you be able to help in getting the output as

Jack Ginger Gel Jam = Jack Ginger Gel Jam

or is there a easy way to get this.

Please do not post multiple copies of your question.

Always use the strict and warnings pragmas. Fix the errors that they report.

Your assignment statement assigns an array to a scalar element of a very complex data structure. You probably do not intend this structure, but without strict, perl creates it for you. When perl assigins an array to a scalar, it assigns the length of the array.

Your first statement requires a dw (refer perldoc -f dw). With strict, perl will report that there is an error in this statement.
Good Luck,
Bill
