in reply to (Beginner) Can 'qw' be implemented into a list?

I don't understand the question. The way you use "implemented into" and "extrapolate " is confusing.

So back to Basic debugging checklist

#!/usr/bin/perl -- use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dump qw/ dd /; my @foo = qw/ a b c /; dd( \@foo ); my( $ba, $bar, $rar ) = qw/ q r s /; dd( $ba, $bar, $rar ); __END__ ["a", "b", "c"] ("q", "r", "s")

Does that help you ask clearer question? Does it answer any questions?
