My impression is that you would define five arrays, e.g. @array1 @array2 etc, and then loop through your input using logic like for i from 1 to 5 push $_ onto array$i (I think you would write that with references, the syntax escapes me at the moment). You now have every fifth item in the @array5, every fourth item in @array4, etc. Sort the arrays into descending order then print array1 on the first line, array2 on the second line, etc.
Was that it?

I can do this easily just by printing to the file up till the correct line length (5) and then inserting a "\n" and starting a new line.
Now I want to essentially rotate the values by 90 degrees:
5555 4444 3333 2222 1111
Thanks for your speedy reply David.
But I should have been clearer...
The array: 12345123451234512345 is meant to represent value placings rather than the actual values I have.
The values in those placings are completely arbitrary.
ie my array (which I have read in from a separate text file as an array) may look like:
120 110 100 90 80 115 105 95 85 75 110 100 90 80 70 105 95 85 75 65 and it would be transformed to:
80 75 70 65 90 85 80 75 100 95 90 85 110 105 100 95 120 115 110 105
(If I have made no mistakes and noting that the neat 5 unit differences are not real). in other words all the nth values are written onto the 1st line, n-1 values onto the 2nd line etc
Sorry for the confusion.
