You immediate problem has been resolved. However I would like to point out that the perlish way is lot simpler than that. I have rewritten your example as follows:
use strict;
use warnings;
It's a good practise to add the above lines to every script you write. It will save you a lot of time and efford in the future.
my @HappyArray = qw/ Perl Is Confusing Would Someone Please Help Me/;
Use "qw" (quoted words) to build your list and save some typing.
foreach (@HappyArray) {
print "$_\n";
}
The
foreach/for function iterates through the elements in the list. If you do not specify an interation variable, it will localize the special perl variable "$_" and set it to the value of the element in each iteration. It can even be written as:
print "$_\n" for @HappyArray;
So the complete program looks like this:
use strict;
use warnings;
my @HappyArray = qw/ Perl Is Confusing Would Someone Please Help Me/;
print "$_\n" for @HappyArray;
die "Done!";
