Well it made me laugh, especially as the "spirit of the OP's question" is obviously homework. :)	[reply]

(drifting off-topic...) It was actually useful for me, even though it's not a homework assignment :) I wanted to send the results to a file (not a problem), but this syntax caused a space to be inserted at the beginning of the second and subsequent lines. I'm already generating the array elements with a terminating newline, so I had to use: `print FILE join( "", @array );` [download] To get what I wanted. Thanks though, for helping me to think outside of the looping concept.	[reply] [d/l]

Why join? If you're already generating the array elements with a terminating newline, why not just: `c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -e "my @ra = (qq{bat\n}, qq{ball\n}, qq{glove\n}); print @ra; " bat ball glove` [download] Give a man a fish: `<%-{-{-{-<`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
