Re: qw() problem

You should have a look at perlop, specifically the section called "Quote and quote-like operators". This should explain qw etc.

I'm not 100% sure exactly what you're trying to achieve. Are you trying to make an array from the scalar value $all ? If so then split is your friend:

$all = "name1 name2 name3";
@arr = someFunc(@dd, split(/ /, $all));

It doesn't matter with this $all, but there is a magical split which splits on all whitespace and trims any off the ends. It's triggered by using a quoted single space as the first argument. `my @arr = someFunc( @dd, split ' ', $all);` [download] The action of magical split on a variable is very like that of qw on its literal argument. `my @args = qw/ name1 name2 name3 /; my $all = "\n name1\n name2\n name3\n"; my @arr = split ' ', $all;` [download] After Compline, Zaxo	[reply] [d/l] [select]
