How does that populate the @new_array variable?
Mine doesn't populate @new_array. It takes the original array and
replaces it with the equivalent of everyone else's @new_array :-)
(Or at least it's supposed to.)
"split(' ', $arry[$i], 1)" is
exactly the same as "$arry[$i]" so you are replacing each element of the array
with itself. (A limit of 1 passes the string through unchanged.)
It's not my fault, blame mail client. When /I/ sent it, it said:
for (my $i = 0; $i < @arry; $i++) {
splice (@arry, $i, 1, split (' ', $arry[$i], 2));
}
with the "2", not the "1" ;-)
