in reply to Array remains empty

Thank you both for the responses! I have gotten closer to my original goal....

use warnings; use strict; use Tk; #declarations my $char = "@"; my $width = 250; my $height =250; my ($xco,$yco); my @xco =(0..250); my @yco =(0..250); my $main=MainWindow->new(); $main->title("No Duplicates"); my $canvas=$main->Canvas(-width => $width, -height => $height) ->pack(-fill => "both", -expand => "true"); my $timer=Tk::After->new($main,'100','repeat',\&write); MainLoop(); # Subroutines sub write { if (@xco && @yco) { get_ycoord(); get_xcoord(); $canvas->createText($xco,$yco, -anchor => 'center', -text => $char, -fill => 'black'); } else { $canvas->createText('120','120',-anchor => 'center', -text => 'The end!', -fill => 'blue'); } } sub get_xcoord () { $xco = splice (@xco, int rand @xco, 1); } sub get_ycoord () { $yco = splice (@yco, int rand @yco, 1); }
Thank you again!!!!!
