Re: understanding curly braces surrounding an array

Actually "the" solution is changing the for loop to:

for my $alarm (@alarms) {
    print $alarm;
}

which even your C friends will understand, although they wouldn't write it that way. Or if you don't mind that your C friends may be fazed by a little Perl you could:

print $_ for @alarms;

Well, since nothing's being done with $_,: `print @alarms;` [download] More "work" might make sense if you're trying to append a newline per iteration or something. Dave	[reply] [d/l]

Indeed, although that doesn't contrast the Perl for loop constructs with the C construct used by the OP. ;) (And maybe, perhaps, the OP simplified his example code.) True laziness is hard work	[reply]
