Re: Re: Re: using split on every element in an arrayby BrowserUk (Patriarch) |

Every element of an array is a named scalar variable. Eg. $array[3] = 'something'; $var = $array[4]; etc. You can therefore use them directly with split. Eg.
The contents of @array will remain unmodified for further use later unless you assign something to $element. It might be clearer to you written this way.
The first version is usually considered better though. Examine what is said, not who speaks. The 7th Rule of perl club is -- pearl clubs are easily damaged. Use a diamond club instead.
