This may sound trivial, but I am trying to declare and assign multiple scalars to the same variable in the same statement. This is what I have:
#!/bin/perl -w $a = $b = "apple"; # works use strict; my ($a = $b) = "apple"; # does not works my $a = my $b = "apple"; # works .. but looks ugly I'm trying to get away from using multiple "my"s in the same statement. I looked at FTP.pm, and for *lists* it's possible: my ($ftp, $dir, $recurse) = @_; Is there something I am not seeing? Thanks Jeff __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
