Whilst you can do by turning off strict and using an array of arraynames and looping over them, its clear concise the way you are doing it.
I think you could do something like @arrays=('test1','test2','test3'); foreach my $array(@arrays) { @{$array}=(); } But not tested. -----Original Message----- From: DJ Gruby [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 August 2007 21:48 To: Perl Beginners Mailing List Subject: Emptying several arrays at once Hello there! Have question if that is possible to empty a few arrays with one simple command? For the moment I clear these six tables by assigning them an empty list: @bitmap_addr_lo = (); @bitmap_addr_hi = (); @screen_addr_lo = (); @screen_addr_hi = (); @colors_addr_lo = (); @colors_addr_hi = (); Just wondering if there is a more elegant way to achieve the same result? Many thanks in advance for your help!
