Re: Pushing Arrays

Be careful what you mean here and whether you want an array :

my @setargs = ( $set1, $set2 );
[download]

or a reference to an array:

my $setargs_ref = [ $set1, $set2 ];
[download]

You can push onto either, as long as you refer to it properly

foreach my $set (whatever loop) {
    push @setargs, $set;
    push @{ $setargs_ref }, $set; # explicit dereference
}

Of course, for situations like that, you don't actually need a loop. You can just `push @setargs, whatever loop` [download] where `whatever loop` isn't a loop, but is the list (or array) being iterated over in the original code.

Hi, Thanks I was meaning a reference to an array, so that code helps a lot thanks, Tom Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous. - Confucius WebChalkboard.com \| For the love of art...	[reply]
