OK, it was a chomp, just needed to get it into the right place

#!/usr/bin/perl

$OLDVMDIR = "/sunstorage_kvm_images/kvm_images/images/";
print "$OLDVMDIR \n";

$VMNAME = "junkvm";
print "$VMNAME \n";

$VMSFX = "-vda.img";
print "$VMSFX \n";

$CONCAT = $OLDVMDIR . $VMNAME . $VMSFX;
print "$CONCAT \n";


@VMSHUT = `cat /tmp/virshlist_shutdown`;
foreach $VMSHUT (@VMSHUT)
        {
          chomp $VMSHUT;
          $VMFILE = $OLDVMDIR . $VMSHUT . $VMSFX;
          print "$VMFILE \n";
        }

Hello All,

I have a simple little script where I'm trying to append some text to a string. It works fine until I introduce an array. Here is the script

#!/usr/bin/perl

$OLDVMDIR = "/sunstorage_kvm_images/kvm_images/images/";
print "$OLDVMDIR \n";

$VMNAME = "junkvm";
print "$VMNAME \n";

$VMSFX = "-vda.img";
print "$VMSFX \n";

$CONCAT = $OLDVMDIR . $VMNAME . $VMSFX;
print "$CONCAT \n";


@VMSHUT = `cat /tmp/virshlist_shutdown`;
foreach $VMSHUT (@VMSHUT)
    {
      $VMFILE = $OLDVMDIR . $VMSHUT . $VMSFX;
      print "$VMFILE \n";
    }
[download]

The first part behaves as expected, it prints the directory, vm name and the -vda.img and concatenates them when I ask. When I introduce the array it adds a new line before the -vda.img string. See below

This I expect

/sunstorage_kvm_images/kvm_images/images/

junkvm

-vda.img

/sunstorage_kvm_images/kvm_images/images/junkvm-vda.img

This I do not expect. I thought it was a missing chomp, but that's not fixing it.

/sunstorage_kvm_images/kvm_images/images/Debian

-vda.img

/sunstorage_kvm_images/kvm_images/images/RHEL

-vda.img

/sunstorage_kvm_images/kvm_images/images/RHEL1

-vda.img
