Re^2: Win32/Linux portability

Thanks for your replies, I'm new to Perl so I'm not fit with that abbreviated syntax, e.g. "s/\s+\z//". I guess I'll stick with telling chomp how to handle arguments. I thought about something like:

if (uc($^O)=~"WIN") {$/="\r\n"}

I thought about something like: No need for that. See perlintro and use `s/\r\n\z//; # or $line =~ s/\r\n\z//;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

It's been a year, but I still don't get that abbreviated syntax. For example, today I found out that I can easily split strings at each point using `@foo=split(/\./,$bar);` [download] But to split at whitespace I can use `@foo=split(" ",$bar);` [download] Why is that and what does it mean? I really don't get it, why doesn't `@foo=split(".",$bar);` [download] work?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Please read the documentation for split. Twice. Then if you still have trouble, come back and ask.	[reply]
