Re^2: Trying to capture a value from a list of values

my $lnxsrvrs = "@mylnxsrvrs";
This will assign to $lnxsrvrs the number of elements of the @mylnxsrvrs array.

Actually, it won't.

Since @mylnxsrvrs is in double quotes, the contents of the array are concatenated and stringified, and this string is assigned to $lnxsrvrs.

Consider:

my @array = ( qw/ un deux trois / );
my $count = "@array";
print $count;

Output:

un deux trois

How the OP (thinks they) got an output of 1 remains a mystery...

Oh course, you're right, Not_a_Number ++, silly mistake on my part, I actually saw it myself when reviewing my post right before reading your answer. I answered to fast and I had not paid attention to the quotes.	[reply]
