perlquestion Chady <p>just seems that I'm braindead today. Why does this piece of code break?</p> <code> #!perl -w use strict; my @c = q' # % ( / 3 6 7 @ B C G Q R ^ s t ~ '; print $c[2]; # breaks into : # Use of uninitialized value in print at test.pl line 6. </code> <p>I even tried to join the array with this:</p> <code> print join ('|', @c); # results in: # % ( / 3 6 7 @ B C G Q R ^ s t ~ </code> <p>where am I going wrong? I guess there is something special about the characters?</p> <p>The <code>qw()</code> operator works as far as joining the array, but breaks with -w and gives this warning.</p> <code> Possible attempt to put comments in qw() list at test.pl line 4. </code> <hr><font size="1">He who asks will be a fool for five minutes, but he who doesn't ask will remain a fool for life.<br><br> <A HREF="/index.pl?node=Chady">Chady</A> | <a href="http://chady.net" target="Chady">http://chady.net/</a></font> <p><small>Edit by [tye] to change title</small></p>
