Re: push with interpolated variable

push (@array, $value);
[download]

is the same as

push @array, "$value";
[download]

But when you say

push @array, "$value ";
[download]

you add a space at the end of $value.

Also, by saying `"$value"` you are making perl treat `$value` in string context when it might not be at string but a number, or a boolean, or a reference, or an object, etc.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`push (@array, $value);` [download] is the same as `push @array, "$value";` [download] It's not. `#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my (@array, $value); @array = ("foo"); $value = []; push(@array, $value); $array[-1][0] = "bar"; print $array[-1][0], "\n"; @array = ("foo"); $value = []; push @array, "$value"; $array[-1][0] = "bar"; print $array[-1][0], "\n"; __END__ bar Can't use string ("ARRAY(0x818427c)") as an ARRAY ref while "strict re +fs" in use` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Indeed. I assumed $value contains a simple scalar (a string or a number). If $value contains a reference then "$value" is stringified. Thanks for the clarification, i never thought about that. holli, regexed monk	[reply]
