... if (/good(.*)/)

This is much better.
Although $buffer now contains:

$VAR1 = \[ \'goodmorning goodbye goodafternoon ' ];

So although there's your array, it only contains scalar value referenced inside. I think that's not the behaviour you expected from the IO::Uncompress::Bunzip2 documentation talking about arrays.
There it says:

If $output is an array reference, the uncompressed data will be pushed onto the array.

That is, all of the bunzipped data is pushed onto the array, so you can fill your array with data from several bunzipped files.

Change the matching to if ($$_ =~ /good(.*)/) to make your code output the value.

If you also want to break the result into a list, use split to do that.

Cheers, Sören

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
