References Array

Hello All
I need to create an array with references while each cell of the array pointing to his own array in a way - so I can loop this reference array get into the 5 arrays that he pointing on and push the same lines into the different arrays. I tried to do something like this:

my(@arrA);
my(@arrB);
my(@arrC);
my(@arrD);
my(@arrE);

my($ref_to_arrA) = \@arrA;
my($ref_to_arrB) = \@arrB;
my($ref_to_arrC) = \@arrC;
my($ref_to_arrD) = \@arrD;
my($ref_to_arrE) = \@arrE;

@Ref_to_Arr = {$ref_to_arrA, $ref_to_arrB, $ref_to_arrC, $ref_to_arrD, $ref_to_arrE} # I initial the reference array with a pointers to my 5 arrays

my($moo);
foreach $moo (@Ref_to_Arr){
push(@Ref_to_Arr, "HELLO WORLD! ");
} #I want to go all over the Ref_to_Arr array and with the help of the references to push my string into my 5 arrays - @arrA @arrB @arrC @arrD @arrE


Now I expect, that if I will print the content of @arrA @arrB @arrC @arrD @arrE so I will see in every array the string: HELLO WORLD...

But something with the syntax is wrong...

Glad if you know how I can make it work...

Thanks a lot in advance!!

Your basic problem is that you've used the wrong type of brackets for creating your array of references. Curly brackets (braces) will create a reference to a hash. You want round brackets (parentheses) to create an array, like so:

Hi

Thx for the answer ! it really was a syntex error but even after I corrected the prentsis it still dont work. I think that it gets into an infinite loop maybe it something in the foreach and push section that I did wrong?

Thanks again!

You're pushing the new value onto the wrong array.

Those initial array declarations aren't needed.

Hi,

Thanks a lot but still not working.
I did what you said and it gave me this error for the line that starts with "push..":

Scalar found where operator expected at HelloWorld.pl line 138, near "@($moo"
(Missing operator before $moo?)
syntax error at HelloWorld.pl line 138, near "@($moo"
Execution of HelloWorld.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

Do you know what this error means?

You didn't copy the code correctly for the push statement.

You used ($moo) parens around the var where you should have used {$moo} braces.

WOW!! It works!!!! Thank you very much!
