It ignores white space in the regular expression, not in the text you

For example, the following are equivalent:

This is probably an oldie, but assigning an undef to a hash creates a hash
with a single element (which I'm guessing is undef). Isn't this counter
intuitive. I would have expected the hash to be empty if the undef that is
assigned is in scalar context.

What does @ary contain now?
You can think of a hash as being like an array that is indexed by st

Here's a sample:
use strict;
use vars qw( $a $b $c # this is how you declare variables
$myvar ); # for use with "use strict"
$a = 1; #ok
$b = 2; #ok
$c = $a + b; #oops, forgot $ in fro

Oops, darn line wrap, please ignore the smiley...
with "my" variables that causes them to hold on to
their initial value unexpectedly. You see it sometimes in scripts that have
a user log in--the second person to log in (and everybody thereafter) gets
logged in as the first person who logged in, because a "my" variable held on
h variables from the csv file. I'll probably create those
with a simple split.
any ideas?

Of course, a real HCPH (Hard Core Perl Hacker) would probably do something
more like
while()
{
chomp;
$sth->execute(
grep s/^'?(.*?)'?$/$1/,
split /,/);
}
...which is the same thing without the temporary variables. :)

Well, it's a trick, based on the "givens" that neither array contained any
duplicates. If each item appears at most once per array, then all we need
to do is count the number of times each item a

Ooo, a bibliography at the end of the specific advice -- that's a *great*
idea for a beginners list. We should make that a convention :)
