I have an array ( @array ) which i want to change to a list of values like
this:

my $data = ["0", "", "", "3", "", "", "6", "", "", "9", "", "", "12"];

(The numbers are the values in the array)
The length of the array is dynamic... so it could be (0,3,6,9,12) but also
(2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16)

What is the easiest way to do this?

So, you started in two CGI groups, then you posted the same question
to alt.perl, and now here. Others in this group may be interested in
knowing about the message below:

You posted the same question to two CGI groups, and you have already
received some replies there. What you did is called multiposting, and
is considered bad manner on Usenet.

On the other hand, since your question has nothing to do with CGI,
alt.perl is a more appropriate group.

Didn't you learn _anything_ from the discussion in the CGI groups,
such as explaining more clearly what it is you want??

Thanks for giving a normal answer! I appreciate that much.
I'm going to try this...

You may want to contact a namesake of yours who posted exactly the same
question in alt.perl.
Probably he got some advice already.
