Hmmm. /me scratches head. Sorry if this is getting OT, but earlier in this thread John M. Dlugosz pointed out that my original formulation,
my @ary = split (" ",$_) while (<DATA>)
doesn't work because
the magical assignment to $_ only happens in a regular while loop, not in a statement modifier.
And of course, he's quite correct. But why, then, does your version work? What's the difference? Do I need to change my aftershave? Update: Looks like that wasn't the problem with my original formulation. Well, the problem's solved, for which again thanks. But I'd still be very interested to know why my version didn't work. § George Sherston

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).
