One more, kinda unrelated, point. In Perl, unlike say in C#, the foreach loop variable is an alias to the list element and MAY be modified. So there is no reason to bother with the indices:
for (@cmd) {
$_ = [split "\n", $_]->[0];
}
Next thing ... you don't have to create an anonymous reference and then dereference it to get the first element from a list returned by a subroutine. A pair of braces is enough:
for (@cmd) {
$_ = (split "\n", $_)[0];
}
And last there really is no reason to avoid regexps. They tend to make the code simpler.
for (@cmd) {
s/\n.*$//s;
}

Enoch was right!
Enjoy the last years of Rome.

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).
