Hi, I am trying to initialize a dynamically-named array, i.e. with the following test code (if I type "script.pl char" at the command prompt) I get the message "array char contains 1 2 3" but I get a warning if 'use strict' is on. Can anyone show me how it should be done (I would like to use 'use strict'!)? #!/usr/bin/perl -w #use strict; my ($string); while (<$ARGV[0]>) { chomp($string=$_); @$string = (1,2,3); #Won't work if 'use strict' pragma is used } print "array $string contains @$string\n"; -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] **** DISCLAIMER **** "This e-mail and any attachment thereto may contain information which is confidential and/or protected by intellectual property rights and are intended for the sole use of the recipient(s) named above.
