problem with whitespace not splitting on split.

om" with just one element. I'm not understanding why spliting on the whitespace doesn't split the way I want it too, none of the values have any whitespace in them except for the way the output is formatted. could someone help me figure out why its not happening like I want it to. Thanks

nd that apparently is also wrong, I was getting 1 when I should have got >1. The doc I read said that there is a special variable called #$arrayname that has the count of array elements. But this isn't correct, so how do you return the count of array elements? -- Rance Hall System Admin

Re: hash keys

e set of hash keys is what the computer uses to find values in the hash, and in order to optimize your code and make searching the hash for specific values as fast as possible, you should WANT your key to be as short and simple as possible but still make sense when you need to debug your code.

comparing and contrasing two approaches to variable scope

ing language. Many scripts may be translated to Perl with little additional work (possibly adding a bunch of quotes and colons). You may try something like system "/home/xxx/yyy/abc"; It wouldn't hurt to test for the permissions on the file to make sure you can exec
