Re: splice question

Short answer: replace @alpha with @array!

Slightly longer but more fundamental answer: always put use strict; at the beginning of your code. OK, this means that you have to change your first line to:

my @array = ('a'..'z');

...but the extra typing pays dividends, since Perl itself would have pointed this error out to you, thus saving you the time it took you to post to perlmonks :-)

Update: BTW, your line $,=''; doesn't actually do anything unless you had previously set $, to something else...

...your line `$,='';` doesn't actually do anything unless... It doesn't do anything in the program, anyway, because he quoted the array. He wants `$"`.	[reply] [d/l]

...He wants `$"` Sorry, I must be missing something: `my @array = ('a'..'z'); $" = ''; print "@array";` [download] What's the point? Just do: `my @array = ('a'..'z'); print @array;` [download] Why not set a lot of other special variables to the null string (eg `$\ = ''; $/='';` while we're about it? :-) dave	[reply] [d/l] [select]
