Hi Monks,
Sorry to tax your patience with a simple question like this, but this is driving me crazy:
use strict;
my @days;
@days = qw(Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday);
print @days, "\n";
print qw(Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday), "\n";
When I use
qw and print out these lists why are the results all run together with no spaces--MondayTuesdayWednesday, etc. I thought useing
qw would allow Perl to print my array elements or list with the spaces as entered above.
Can you help me understand why the results are run together? I know this must rank as one of the dumbest questions ever, but I'd appreciate the advice nonetheless.
