Re: odd behavior with DATA section

Actual problem seems to be that your "tabs" are actually spaces, probably due to editor settings. Use the following for your split:

  my ($filename, $filepath) = split '\s+', $line;

unless of course you have spaces in your file names or paths :)

Perl is Huffman encoded by design.

In this post, maybe. In the file itself, they're actual tabs. I use emacs, and it only untabifies if I tell it to. Which I haven't. I did triple check that the DATA lines in question are using real tabs, by the way. But just to be sure that I'm sure, I did change the split to use \s+ and it produced the same behavior.	[reply]
