Hi,
I am using the Data:: Dumper to print out my data...

...
print Dumper(@data)
exit;
...
_______________________
output as below:
$VAR1 = [
         'year,product,name,
         '2006,car,john',
         '2007,boat,james',
       ];
____________________________

question is i could i cange the @data so that my output could be as following:

____________________________
$VAR1 = [
         'year',
         'product',
         'name',
       ];
$VAR2 = [
         '2006',
         'car',
         'john',
       ];
$VAR3 = [
         '2007',
         'boat',
         'james',
       ];


______________________

print Dumper ((@NewData);
exit;
...

$VAR1 = [          '3',                  
             ];

dolphin:~ graham$ perl chal
$VAR1 = [
         'year,product,name',
         '2006,car,john',
         '2007,boat,james'
       ];
$VAR1 = [
         'year',
         'product',
         'name'
       ];
$VAR2 = [
         '2006',
         'car',
         'john'
       ];
$VAR3 = [
         '2007',
         'boat',
         'james'
       ];
dolphin:~ graham$

Which is almost what you asked for ....

Thank you.
Have a nice day.

Question is that you want to change the output or dump the whole array into individual elements.
