I'm resending this as it hasn't appeared on the list yet (after 4 days),
apologies if this creates duplicates

I think you're looking for a matrix

#! perl -w

#=========== declare includes =============

use strict;
use diagnostics-verbose;

#========== declare variables =============

my(@matrix);

#============= script body ================

 @matrix= ( ["do","fa","si"],
	    ["re","sol","de"],
	    ["mi","la","me"]
	    );

# You can reference the matrix by using its co-ordinates
# (remember arrays begin at 0 however

print $matrix [0][0], "\n";  #will print the top corner ('do')

print $matrix [2][2], "\n";  #will print the bottom corner ( 'me')
__END__
