Except that the output generated is: `Thequickbrown(it'saslightlyreddishbrown)foxjumpsoverthelazydog` However this: `print join "\n", split ' ', "The quick brown (it's a slightly reddish brown) fox jumps over the lazy dog";` does the trick Perl is Huffman encoded by design.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

That is real output as generated from my "perl shell"--which has -l in force. The same effect can be seen by: `P:\test>perl -wle"print for split ' ', shift" "The quick brown (it's a + slightly reddish brown) fox jumps over the lazy dog The quick brown (it's a slightly reddish brown) fox jumps over the lazy dog` [download] Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

The "good enough" maybe good enough for the now, and perfection maybe unobtainable, but that should not preclude us from striving for perfection, when time, circumstance or desire allow.

i always start perl on the commandline with `-wle`. i would do that even while sleeping. that saves me from doing `"...\n"` instead of `...` and `-w` saves me from bugs. i don't have an alias for that, but i'm typing it automatically. `perl -e''` looks very odd to me.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Sorry, but why split if you don't store it and join it directly? I know, it's the homework answer to split, but your's will be more efficient, I guess this way: `s/\s+/\n/;print;` [download] `$\=~s;s.;q^\|D9JYJ^^qq^\//\\\///^;ex;print`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Actually I don't think the homework required a `split` answer. But there is a tradition of providing a somewhat obscure answer to questions that look like homework. If OP asks questions, well and good. If not then they probably can't simply regurgitate the "answers" they have been given and expect to get good marks for it. Perl is Huffman encoded by design.

The OP asked: "if i want to get a seperate word from tht how will i do that? ". BrowserUKs answer does what he/she asked for. The concatenation of the words is an artefact of the `print` output used to demonstrate that it works, rather than the operation the OP was asking about. -------------------------------------------------------------- $perlquestion=~s/Can I/How do I/g;	[reply] [d/l]

I think that BrowserUK might meant to say something like: `my @words = split ' ', "The quick brown (it's a slightly reddish brown +) fox jumps over the lazy dog"; print "$_\n" for @words;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Or, maybe he just didn't mention that you should run perl with `-l` on the command or shebang line. ;-) -sauoq "My two cents aren't worth a dime.";	[reply] [d/l]
