in reply to Re^2: Improve foreach with help of map?
in thread Improve foreach with help of map?

my ($dummy, $dummy, $result) = ...;

should be

my (undef, undef, $result) = ...;

There's also

my $result = ( map /(\d\d \w\w\w \d\d\d\d)/, split /\n+/, $content )[2];

But really, you want the faster and more accurate

my ($result) = $content =~ /End Date.*?(\d\d \w\w\w \d\d\d\d)/s;

    Thx, that even makes it simpler. Perl Nirvana is in reach I tell you.

    Your last one worked like a charm.
