in reply to altering and printing an array

BUU's reply is how I'd do it, but he forgot to rewrite the date in slashed format:

print "date\tversion\n"; for (0..$#dateArray) { my $date = $dateArray[$_]; $date =~ s!^(\d\d)(\d\d)(\d\d)$!$1/$2/$3!; print "${date}\t$versionArray[$_]\n"; }
I didn't alter the original array, just a copy of each element as it came up. There might be reason to get old-fashoned and look at perlform, or modern and Template Toolkit.
