But then it doesn't line up with the second line. Of course, we can always pad it out by taking advantage of the effects of a list in scalar context: ${(1,2,3,4,5,+uc)}=$_ for split //, "JustanotherPerlhacker"; print qq'$J$U$S$T$"$A$N$O$T$H$E$R$"$P$E$R$L$"$H$A$C$K$E$R$/' or even take advantage of barewords: ${(uppercase,+uc)}=$_ for split //, "JustanotherPerlhacker"; print qq'$J$U$S$T$"$A$N$O$T$H$E$R$"$P$E$R$L$"$H$A$C$K$E$R$/' We could also go + happy: +${+uc}=+$_ for+split+//,+"JustanotherPerlhacker";print +qq+$J$U$S$T$"$A$N$O$T$H$E$R$"$P$E$R$L$"$H$A$C$K$E$R$/+ -- Chas.
