Greetings;
I can get qw to work for things like
@n = qw( john jacob jingleheimer schmidt );
but something like
@n = qw( $names );
doesn't work. I get the literal string "$names" in @n!
What does the equivalent of qw(???) for a variable?
Many TIA!
Dennis

You mean like:
my @array = ($var1, $var2, $var3);

There's no quoting operator that will do that for you. I'd suggest using
split().
you want split then..
my $names = "Jesus Mary Joseph";
my @n = split /\s+/, $names;

The split did the trick, and cut out a few lines of code
also. I had already done some splits and joins to get ready
for qw() which I can n ow delete!
Thanks for the help everyone!
