Hi All,
All of these examples are using LISTS! An array is something with a '@' sigil
in front of it. Also chapter 8 has examples where he shows passing a
reference to a list (and calling it an array) in a sub and dereferencing it as
an array which will not work. He also uses deprecated hash dereferences.
ok, I can't dispute what I don't know, so I'll trust your better
judgement...
There are also various errors throughout although I only got up to chapter 10.
So unless you are still using Perl version 5.001 I would recommend that you
get a more up-to-date tutorial.
ok, I was using it, as it was suggested due to another I 1st posted also
being considered outa date..
:::::::
There are many good, Perl5 examples and tutorials out there, this one
comes to mind: http://www.codebits.com/p5be/
and perl.com has a lot of useful stuff, if you don't mind digging about,
as well as CPAN.org, although, maybe a bit more cryptic.
Have fun, I know I am. :)
