sub nextword{      @return = []; $id(1 .. 3)  {                 $eng = $db->selectall_arrayref("select word words                                                  left outer join language                                                 on words.languageid = language.languageid                                                 words.languageid = $id                                                 order word asc                                                                    ;"); #limit 10 offset $currentoffset                                                              @language[$id] = [@$eng];                                @return  = [[@language[$id]],[@$eng]];                 foreach $row (@return)                 {                     print "word: @$row ...\n";                     print " hello.". @$row.".....\n";                 }         $currentoffset+=10; }return  @return;  

}

@language[$id] = [@$eng];  

should be

$language[$id] = [@$eng];

i don't understand want store in @return storing wring thing.

@return  = [[@language[$id]],[@$eng]]; 

you assigning array reference.

did read perldoc perldsc people have advised previously, other perl references?

---

if want loop on results of selectall_arrayref, can do:

foreach $row (@$eng) { # hell $eng anyway? use meaningful variable names please     print "word: $row->[0]\n"; } 

---

if want assign arrayref of words query $language[$id], dre's answer good
