cool thanks.... I guess I am a wanna be programmer but do UNIX in real
life.
So Data::Dumper shows me a structure of any scaler? Could you show me an
example?
thank you,

I meant that "has the Orig strings in it" does not
tell us how the strings are represented. It does not
precisely define how the data is structured.
That statement does not accurately describe the
data. Here are two examples of strings listed in a
scalar. In both cases I could describe each of these
examples as a "scalar variable with strings in it."
$baz = [
[ 'foo' ],
[ 'bar' ],
];
$baz = "foo\nbar\n";
As computer programmers, we have to describe
data precisely. If you are uncertain how to describe
a structure try printing it with DATA::Dumper.
: the foreach with the split did work!
Great. I'm glad I could help.
