in thread Build your array with push

Of course, if you want to get rid of all that pesky horizontal scrolling you could pass something like the following through cpp...
p\ u\ s\ h\ (\ @\ H\ i\ b\ b\ s\ _\ D\ a\ g\ l\ i\ s\ h\ _\ S\ c\ h\ w\ a\ r\ t\ z\ _\ V\ r\ o\ o\ m\ ,\ c\ h\ r\ (\ 0\ b\ 1\ 0\ 0\ 1\ 0\ 0\ 0\ )\ )\ ;\

    That won't work. Perl is not C.

      Sure it will, but you need the -P command-line switch (which is not recommended), cpp and sed.
      $ perl -P -MO=Deparse cpp.pl <stdin>:1:2: warning: backslash-newline at end of file push @Hibbs_Daglish_Schwartz_Vroom, 'H'; cpp.pl syntax OK
      That won't work. Perl is not C.
      Perl is pretty close though. What part of Perl's syntax makes CPP choke (just curious)?
        Oh, you said "pass it through cpp". Sorry, I didn't notice that. Then it would work.
