First line: my @active_tables=split(/,/,$tables);
Is there anyway to split a variable like the perl split above?
I'm no perl guru, but in 7.4 I believe this does what you're looking for:
regression=# select string_to_array('1,2,3',','); string_to_array ----------------- {1,2,3} (1 row)
Second line:
if ($r=~/^-([0-9]?)([A-z_]+)/) { my $locid = $1; my $table = $2;
Not sure about this one. Hopefully someone else can chime in. Maybe a little less efficient, but it seems like it would be easy enough to parse when true.
HTH,
Joe
