Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

My problem is probably an easy one for smart Perl Monks..
I have made a function which I want to call several times, but with different arguments. The arguments I want to pass is "user-[a-z]". Also the fist time my function is called,the argument passed is supposed to be "user-a", second "user-b" and so on...
Any smart idea's?:)

Thanx...

    You mean like this? 

    sub foo
{
    my $user = shift;
    print "$user\n";
}

for my $user_id ('a'..'z')
{
    foo("user-$user_id");
}

    If I understand you correctly, this should do what you want: my_func("user-$_") for 'a'..'z';
