Re: Dealing with '@' in Text Strings

I am not sure I undestand your question.

First of all, you example does not work. Precisely for the reason you give: the @ in this case is interpreted as a list¹ variable introducer. Use single quotes if you do not want variables to be interpolated in a string:

$x = 'jdoe@somewhere.com,bdoakes@nowhere.com';

To create a list¹ of two e-mail addreses from this, you can use split:

@addresses = split /,/, $x;

¹Or, to be exact, an array.

I say that you know a programming language decently when you are able to write a non-trivial block of code and not have any syntax errors in it. More points if it works correctly on the first try, too :-)	[reply]
