Just a bit off (see below). > #!/usr/bin/perl > > my @test = "a b c"; That is a scalar on the right-hand side. You end up with a one-element array in which the first and only element is the string 'a b c'. Shawn and I were using the qw() operator, which splits a string on whitespace and returns a list: my @test = qw(a b c); which is equivalent to and shorter than: my @test = ( 'a', 'b', 'c'); -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
