Re^2: Llama ./tac stumper

Unless I'm badly confused, I'm pretty sure that foreach( @ARGV ){ <> } isn't doing what you want. <> in list context should open every file in @ARGV, read all the lines, and return them.

@ARGV=reverse @ARGV;
print reverse <>;

My apologies on botching the 2nd solution. Here's an update: `use strict; use warnings; my( @slurp ) = <>; @slurp = reverse @slurp; print @slurp;` [download] Dave	[reply] [d/l]

You did actually verify if I was right didn't you?	[reply]

You did actually verify if I was right didn't you? `@ARGV=reverse @ARGV; print reverse <>;` [download] I actually verified that both my <> solution and your solution are wrong (it does reverse the order of the lines of the files, but preserves original filename order). The idea is that a double-negative makes a positive. You were right that my solution had an error. You followed it up with a solution that also contained an error. I also verified that my final solution works properly. Hope the confusion is settled. ;) Dave	[reply] [d/l]
