Re^3: using function output ananymous array vs. named array in foreach

actually chomp() returns the number of "characters" that were chomped - not the delimiters.

You're right of course. (But your over elaborate demonstration added nothing to the simple statement of fact.)

I remember discovering early on that the return from chomp wasn't useful and I've never concerned myself with what non-useful thing it actually returned ever since.

So the OP's code is not going to work...

That was the point I was making when I said: "Neither snippet will do what you think it will do.".

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Yes, I was overly elaborate. Yes, I have never used the return value from chomp(). That's it and I think we agree about that.	[reply]
