I think you may be confusing the command line grep with Perl's grep command. my @selected = grep { $_ ne "." } @some_array selects elements based on whether the content of {....} returns true or false. As { $_ ne "."} is only true on an exact non-match with ".", it will exclude only ".".

".foobar", "foo.bar", etc. will pass the test, i.e. { $_ ne "."} will be true, and therefore will be in @selected.

Do you spot anything wrong in the below line,for some reason the for loop is executed even for the element "." in @folders `foreach my $folder (grep {$_ ne "."}@folders) { }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Insofar as I understand what you're trying to do, it looks OK: `>perl -wMstrict -le "my @folders = qw(foo .foo foo.bar foo. . .. ...); ;; foreach my $folder (grep { $_ ne '.' } @folders) { printf qq{'$folder' }; } " 'foo' '.foo' 'foo.bar' 'foo.' '..' '...'` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
