Given the address of 25.255.2.0 in @array, I want to be able to store 25 into $scalar_1, 255 into $scalar_2, 2 into $scalar_3 and 0 into $scalar_4. It *should* be fairly easy to do, but not being a Perl guru I don't know how. I could do this using if statements, but that is way to tedious and takes up to much room/space. So basically, everything up to the first "." I wanted stored in my first scalar (then chopped off), then everything up to the next "." into a second scalar, etc, leaving the leftovers (0) into the fourth scalar. If anyone knows how, please let me know. Thanks.
