Hi,
I've started learning Perl a few days ago, but I'm a
computer science student, so I'm not a complete idiot
:)

This is the problem: I'm trying to make a simple 2D
matrix that represents the product of the numbers 1-10
(don't know how to tell it in English, it's that table
that kids learn when their 2nd grade)

I've wrote the following:

sub init
{
 for ($a=0;$a<10;$a++)
 {
  $table[$a,0] = $a;
  $table[0,$a] = $a;
 }
}

sub count
{
 for ($a=0;$a<10;$a++)
 {
  for ($b=0;$b<10;$b++)
  {
   $table[$a,$b] = $table[$a,0] * $table[0,$b];
  }
 }
}

sub print
{
 etc...
}

init;
count;
print;

-----------

The count function might not have been written this
way, but the init function sure looks like that, and
that is the function I'm having a problem with. It
doesn't work, but can't figure out why? It should give
a result like this:
0123456789
1000000000
2000000000
3000000000
4000000000
5000000000
6000000000
7000000000
8000000000
9000000000

But instead I get
9999999999
9000000000
9000000000
9000000000 ... etc

So I wrote a procedure like this:

sub test
{
 for ($a=0;$a<10;$a++)
 {
  print $a;
  $table[$a,0] = $a;
 }
}

.... and when I print the table, I get the following:
123456789  (from the print $a line) 999999999
99999999
99999999
99999999
.... etc...

It's like it counts to 9, and then fills the table
with nines. But why?

Anyway, can someone help?

Thanks, Csaba
