What's wrong with a foreach approach?

$ perl -Mstrict -MData::Dumper -e '
my @words=("",",","abcd","efgh","","","jklm","nopq","");
my $combined;
my @combinations;
for my $word (@words){
  if ($word){
    $combined .=$word;
  }
  else{
    push @combinations, $combined if $combined;
    $combined="";
  }
}
@words=@combinations;
print Dumper\@words;'
$VAR1 = [
          ',abcdefgh',
          'jklmnopq'
        ];

print "Good ",qw(night morning afternoon evening)[(localtime)[2]/6]," fellow monks."

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
