That doesn't work:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; $_ = "this that some other foo bar baz"; if (/(this)\s*(that)\s*(some)\s*(other)\s*(foo)\s*(bar)\s*(baz)/) { my ($this, $that, $some, $other, $foo, $bar, $baz) = ($1 .. $+); print "$this, $that, $some, $other, $foo, $bar, $baz\n"; } __END__ Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at , , , , , ,
What does work is:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; $_ = "this that some other foo bar baz"; if (/(this)\s*(that)\s*(some)\s*(other)\s*(foo)\s*(bar)\s*(baz)/) { my ($this, $that, $some, $other, $foo, $bar, $baz) = map {;no strict 'refs'; $$_} 1 .. $#-; print "$this, $that, $some, $other, $foo, $bar, $baz\n"; } __END__ this, that, some, other, foo, bar, baz
A trick I've been using for quite a long time. ($#+ instead of $#- works as well).

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
