G'day sherab,

I see ++McA has provided a solution for reconstructing the data stored by (I presume) Data::Dumper.

If the creation of 'data.txt' is also under your control, you might condsider the built-in module Storable. Here's an example usage:

#!/usr/bin/env perl -l

use strict;
use warnings;

use Storable;

my $file = './data.txt';
my @original_array = ('Snow', 'White', '1313 Mockingbird Lane');

store \@original_array => $file;

my @retrieved_array = @{retrieve($file)};

print for @retrieved_array;

Output:

Snow
White
1313 Mockingbird Lane
