I can assure you it isn't; your code assigns to $1, $2, and $3 -- you
can't do that.
>open(file, "< foo.bar");
If you had warnings on, you'd be told that filehandles should be written
in uppercase for safety.
open FILE, "< foo.bar";
>@myArray = <file>;
>close(file);
>foreach (@myArray) {($1, $2, $3) = split /=/; $list{"$1"}=$3;}
There's no need to read the file into an array and then loop over the
array. Why not do:
while (<FILE>) {
chomp; # remove the newline;
my ($field, $value) = split /=/;
$data{$field} = $value;
}
The reason your code breaks is because you are misunderstanding
split(); it does NOT return what the regex matched.
split /=/, "a=b"
does not return ("a", "=", "b"). It returns ("a", "b").
