JAPH. (That's right -- I'm not Really Inexperienced any more.)

I'm not just here, I'm here [perlmonks.org], and here [javajunkies.org] too, I ramble randomly in my philosophical blog [blogspot.com] and my other blog [blogspot.com]. Soon I'll come in a convenient six-pack.

Figures

[ #1918 ]

Chased it for two days now.

split/ ,/;

wasn't splitting a list of values

2334, 2343, 9923, 3636

into @_. I tested all around it, there were values, blah blah blah, and finally I decided to be more explicit.

@_ = (split / ,/, $_);

and that was when I realized that it needed to be /, / and not / ,/.

Oh well. "Don't be so hasty with split//," is the lesson learned today.

Quick Addendum: I'm giving up on this stuff for tonight; my head has become heavy with sleep. Tomorrow, after dealing with my useless brother's need for updating his tome, I hope to come right back to it. I've started to get a little bit of the love/hate thing going on with perl. :)
