in reply to How do I stop printing a hash value

No, your problem has nothing to do with hashes. You want to stop printing some elements of an array.

You can use grep to filter out the elements you are passing to join.

      or, work out what's happening here:

      ...
for my $var(@var) {             # as ikegami said, you're not working 
+with a hash
    if ( $var !~ /\/* .*? \/*/ ) {
        print "\$var, \'$var\', is (something for iphone to fill in) \
+n";
    } else {
        print "\$var, \'$var\', is (the reverse) \n";
    }
}
...
