in reply to How do you place words from a sentence into an array?

You are looking for split:

open( FILE, "bingo_in.txt" ) or die $!;
while (<FILE>) {
    # chomp; - isn't needed as pg points out in the node following up.
    my @words = split; # no arguments: split $_ on white space
    foreach my $word (@words) { ...

Cheers, Sören

Update: chomp-line commented out

    chomp is not needed here, you can see this through this demo:

    use Data::Dumper;

use strict;
use warnings;

$_ = "1 2\n3\t4\r\n5\n";
my @words = split;
print Dumper(\@words);

    It gives you:

    $VAR1 = [
          '1',
          '2',
          '3',
          '4',
          '5'
        ];
