You probably mean : http://perl-begin.org/tutorials/perl-for-newbies/part1/#page--arrays--DIR $primes[$num_primes] assigns to index No. $num_primes (where the array starts at index 0) of @primes. Doing {{{ @myarray = 4 }}} won't do what you want (as opposed to PHP's {{{ $myarray[] = 4 }}}, but {{{ push @myarray, 4; }}} will probably do what you want. The "=" assignment overrides the entire variable. Regards, Shlomi Fish > Am I mising something, or are these two things interchangable? > Jason H.
