in reply to Embed empty value using qw()

According to perlop qw() is "exactly" like doing a 
split(' ', q/STRING/);

That doesn't leave much room for an empty value. But for another way, you could fill the array using a slice.. 
@array[0..4,6..9] = qw(0 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9);

Still not pretty, but it's something..

    Actually, it's more like doing that in a BEGIN block--qw(a b c) becomes ('a', 'b', 'c') at compile time (at least in newer Perls).

    There is no sig.
