I am having "newbie" trouble getting my head around scalar and list contexts. The code below is returning scalar and I was hoping it wouldn't. Is it obvious what I am doing wrong?
foreach $y(@shows_to_find) {$show_nzb_d = $nzb_url.$y.$amp.$cat_id.$amp.$api_username_url +.$api_username.$amp.$api_key_url.$api_key; @dl_nzb = push(@dl_nzb,$show_nzb_d); #Remove next 2 lines - just for testing print $dl_nzb[1]; print "$show_nzb_d"."<br />"; }
So when I print second element of the dl_nzb list I get a numeric value instead of the value.
