try
my ($a,$b)=("apples","apples");
In the other example it was pulling values from an array of scalars.
In your example you are only providing 1 scalar for 2 scalar variables to
share.

This may sound trivial, but I am trying to declare and assign multiple
scalars to the same variable in the same statement. This is what I have:
#!/bin/perl -w
$a = $b = "apple"; # works
use strict;
my ($a = $b) = "apple"; # does not works
my $a = my $b = "apple"; # works .. but looks ugly
I'm trying to get away from using multiple "my"s in the same statement. I
looked at FTP.pm, and for *lists* it's possible:
my ($ftp, $dir, $recurse) = @_;
Is there something I am not seeing?
Thanks
Jeff
