Re: [INTERFACES] Perl Interface

Sorry I did not catch up with the original question; I believe things
you discuss here are better answered by reading "man perldata" or "man
perlref". But let me make a few comments, anyway.

{push @set, ($string)} is the same as {push @set, $string} or {push (@set, $string)}

{push @set, (@row); is the same as {push @set, @row} or {push @set, $row[0], $row[1], ...}

There is no such thing as multidimensional array in perl. 

One can simulate multidimensional arrays by using arrays of
references. You probably wanted to say,

push @set, [@row];

or

push @set, \@row;

which would now now be true.
