I'm trying to do the simplest thing with splice() but not seeing the results I expect. It seems to go weird when I passed an array of arguments rather than a direct list.
my (@list, @result, @args); # first, the working example @list = qw( a b c d e ); @result = splice(@list, 3, 1); print "splice remains: @list\n"; # a, b, c, e print "splice result: @result\n"; # d # now the not-so-working example @list = qw( a b c d e ); @args = (3, 1); @result = splice(@list, @args); print "splice remains: @list\n"; # a, b print "splice result: @result\n"; # c, d, e The summary: splice() seems to get confused if you call it as splice(@list, @args). Am I missing something obvious? A
