    <p>I'm not very adept at Perl, but I need to be able to do a sort on a multi-dimension array. I've been playing with some test code to try and get a better grasp on the concept, and I think I'm getting close, but I can't find the magic combination.</p> <p>What I can't seem to do is dereference my arrays and get them to print correctly. I can seem to get just about everything in the world I need to know about these refrences except for the values in the arrays being referenced.</p> <p>I'm getting my data from a tab-delimited flat file, so in my sample code, I'm mimicking that by creating multiple arrays via splits and then pushing them in to a single array. In practice, I'll be looping through the file, splitting on the tabs and pushing them in to the array as I go.</p> <p>If there is a better way of going about this, I'm all ears. Each line in the flat file is a single record. I need to first sort by a date to get the oldest records to the top, and then do a secondary sort to group records by acct number. I've looked at several examples online, but not found anything that seems to work with the data I need to mimick.</p> <pre><code>my @s1 = split(/:/, 'X:Y:Z'); my @s2 = split(/:/, 'A:B:C'); my @s3 = split(/:/, 'Q:L:P:0'); my @s4 = split(/:/, 'U:E:G'); my @array = (); push(@array, \@s1); push(@array, \@s2); push(@array, \@s3); push(@array, \@s4); print "@array\n"; my @sorted = sort { $a-&gt;[0] cmp $b-&gt;[0] } @array; print "\n"; foreach $thingy (@sorted) { print @thingy . "\n"; #result: number 0 print $thingy . "\n"; #result: reference #print ${$thingy} . "\n"; #result: 'Not a scalar reference' error print ${@thingy} . "\n"; #result: file name (???) print @{$thingy} . "\n"; #result: length of the array referenced } </code></pre>

    1. CONot directly related to your question, but you might want to consider something like this: `my @array = map [split /:/], qw(X:Y:Z A:B:C Q:L:P:0 U:E:G)`.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
