Yes! DISCLAIMER: Please excuse my bad english > Can I pass a list as a variable as I am trying to do, or doesn't perl > support that?

You don't need to "dim" an array in perl; perl expands it automatically and fills the gaps with an undef value (see the script at the end) > my $list4 = "0..10,33..43,100..111"; You assign a simple string to the scalar variable $list4, that's why you can't loop over it, so: my @list4=(0..10,33..43,100..111); > foreach (0..10,33..43,100..111){ > #foreach ($list4){ foreach (@list4) { > $array[$_] = $_; > > print "array--$array[$_]-- --$_--\n"; > > } > ########### Have a look into the perl data types documentation: perldoc perldata #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my @array; my @list4=(0..10,33..43,100..111); foreach (@list4) { $array[$_] = $_; print "array--$array[$_]-- --$_--\n"; } # look into the data structure: use Data::Dumper 'Dumper'; warn Dumper [EMAIL PROTECTED]; __END__ Dani -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
