goodday fellow monks,
sometimes the smallest issues seem to be the biggest hurdles in my coding adventures.

I have a file with data where numbers with decimals are written like  100,25. I want to replace the comma for a dot and multiply numbers but I can't get it working.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use warnings; use diagnostics; use Data::Table; my $table = new Data::Table( [ [ "100,20", "18,20", "19,45", "7,25" ], [ "2", "3", "2", "2" ],[ +0,0,0,0] ], [ 'Numbers', 'Values' , 'Result'], 1 ); $table->colsMap( sub { $_->[2] = ($_->[0] =~ s/,/\./g) * $_->[1] } ); print $table->csv;
Thanks for any reply
