: Do you mean the first instance of @possWords? so it would look like
: this:
: push(@possWords,$temp) ;
Yep.
: I didn't know that about push. Thanks for the info.
I don't imagine that's a feature of push() that gets used much.

: @possWords = push(@possWords,$temp) ;
This line is the problem. push() returns the number of elements in the
array after the new elements have been pushed onto it. Get rid of the
"@possWords = " part of this line.

Err... this is your problem. You are pushing your value onto
@possWords,
then returning the number of elements into the same array. I don't
think
this is what you want. push returns a $calar value with the new number
of
elements in your array. Unless you need to know how many elements are
in
your array, just say push(@possWords, $temp)
