extracting elements from arrays of arrays of arrays ;-)

Hiya All,

I hope you'll forgive this oo perl rookie for asking a routine question.  I'm not new to perl, but
the bioperl module I'm working on is giving me a headache! ;-)


Let's say I have this:

my @array = qw(12 56 41 23);

my $array_ref = \@array;

# where $var1, $var2, and $var3 are other array references.
my $ref = [$var1, $var2, $array_ref, $var3 ];

my @object = ();

push @object, $ref;

QUESTION:  How do I obtain the array $array_ref refers to in this situtation?  Let's say I want to
give @new the values in @array.

Thank many thanks for your time and help!
