Can I do something like this?
perldoc -q quoting
@CityA="Suburb1, Suburb2, Suburb3"; @CityB="Suburb1, Suburb4, Suburb5";
I don't think the above is doing what you think it is. It is assigning one element (the first) of the array to a string. If you are trying to assign the array 3 elements, you need to quote it differently,
my @CityA = ('Suburb1','Suburb2','Suburb3');
my @CityB = ('Suburb1','Suburb4','Suburb5');$Var="TownCurrent";
$Var isn't used again in your example, what is its intended use?
$NewVar="$($TownCurrent)[1]";
The above is non-sensical...
I am trying to construct a sting from a variable.
Construct a string from a variable, or choose a variable using a string?
make sence?
Not really. Try to explain better what you are doing... Since this has nothing to do with CGI your question is better asked on [EMAIL PROTECTED] ....
