Your code assigns to the array.

I determined this by checking your open with die (Tip #7 from the Basic debugging checklist).

    Oh wow. Thank you guys. That was WAY too easy.

    Thanks for the assist. Should have seen that.

      No problem: I come from Pascal, and I make that mistake about once a week. And I've been using perl for more than 6 years now...

      The real error is not to check the result of open and, in general, of all I/O operations, but that I make once a week, too :).

        Upgrade to Perl 5.10.1 at least, or install it from the CPAN, but either way use autodie to prevent that mistake.
