How would you indicate to others that there are line breaks there at the end of each line?
What's that got to do with it?

You posted a blob of text. Blobs of text aren't arrays. Perhaps the blob of text is what the array elements consist of. But as presented, it's a blob of text. It could be just a single array element, each character could be an array element, or it maybe something in between. 

@this_is_an_array = ("look, text", "fragments, each inside", "quotes",
+ ", and separated by commas");

to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
