Re: perl cgi-bin script

You had

$part = @array[$antal];
[download]

in your code, which is a "no no". The correct syntax should be

$part = $array[$antal];
[download]

I double checked your code, and confirmed with my observation. Your original code of @array[$antal] created a slice, and you were assigning a list into a scalar.

While you are correct in that it is a stylistic error, I'm quite certain that piece of code does what is expected. It is in fact returning an array slice, but since the expression in the brackets is a scalar the array slice is only one element and it is simply treated as a scalar. `C:\WINNT\Fonts>perl -e"@x=qw/foo bar qux/; $_=@x[1]; print" bar` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
