Hi everyone, I have an array called @Coordinates where each element looks like 1111111..2222222, 3333333..4444444, 5555555..6666666, etc. They are not all the same number, obviously--that is just an example. The point is that in each element, there are 7 or 8 numbers separated by ".." . What I need to do is make an array with elements 1111111, 2222222, 3333333, 4444444, 5555555, 6666666, etc. I tried using a foreach loop with 

foreach my $C (@Coordinates){
push (@NewCoordinates, split("..",$C)};

to no avail. Does anyone have suggestions? Also, I just want to say how helpful this website is. I don't know where I'd be without it.
