I am a total newby!
How would I go about populating an array from a flat file.
I have a file like this eggsalad
pickles eggs salad dressing
sandwich
bread meat tomato
I would like to put eggsalad
pickles eggs salad dressing
as a value in the array and sandwich
bread meat tomato
As another value.
The problem is that I am to new to do this on my own.
The actual file is hundreds of entries long with each entry separated
by a whitespace line.There are other things that I need to do to
each array ,but I think I can do the rest myself.Can someone please help me.
Thank You

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).
