Re^3: split function

I understand all code except my $view = (split(/:/ , $setView))1

split returns a list, and a list, properly parenthesized, can be subscripted:

c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -le
"my $one = ('zero', 'uno', 'two')[1];
 print qq{'$one'};
"
'uno'

Thanx Anamalous! Now it's perfectly clear. I am very new to perl and it's multitude of ways to accomplish tasks. And if I listen to co-workes, I should be learning javascript because perl is so passe`.	[reply]

Just for the sake of completeness, I should mention that lists can be sliced as well as subscripted: `c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -le "my ($kilo, $papa, $quebec, $romeo, $delta) = ('a' .. 'z')[ 10, 15 .. +17, 3 ]; print qq{'$delta' '$kilo' '$papa' '$quebec' '$romeo'}; " 'd' 'k' 'p' 'q' 'r'` [download] Give a man a fish: `<%-(-(-(-<`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
