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.

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.
