Hi All monks

I have a doubt in creating a empty array reference.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
                                                                      
+                                                       
@d = ( 1,2);
$array = \@d;
$array = \();
$$array[0] = 1;
                                                                      
+                                                       
print "Value :", $$array[0] , "\n";

In the above code

If I comment "$array = \@d;" then If I run the code I am getting an error like

<bold>Not an ARRAY reference</bold>

Can't I create Empty array reference.

Or am I am making any mistake in understanding the array reference

Please adive me on the same.

Thank you all

• 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.
