Fellow monks,
I have a new quandary, here it is:
.... loop ....
@array = ($refnum, $scalar);
push @chunk, @array;
print "@array\n";
$refnum++;
next;
}
warn "\ndebugging: @chunk\n";
print "delete?: ";
chomp (my $number = <STDIN>);
delete ($chunk[$number]);
open (TO_WRITE, ">$ARGV[0]");
while (<TO_WRITE>) {
print TO_WRITE @chunk;
}
The basic idea is, the script should open a file, extract certain fragments of data (lets pretend these 'certain fragments' are $scalar), then the user can choose which $scalar to delete from the file; then delete it.
The problem in this script, is that it is (I think) deleting all the elements of the array, and then writing to the file.
Please help :)

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).

are good places to start.
