This is a public message board, why would I send a solution to you without it being available to other monks to learn from? (and me to show off with of course)

From perldoc perlop and searching for transliteration we discover that

Because the transliteration table is built at compile time, neither th +e SEARCHLIST nor the REPLACEMENTLIST are subjected to double quote interpolation. That means that if you w +ant to use variables, you must use an eval(): eval "tr/$oldlist/$newlist/"; die $@ if $@;
So that may be part of your issue, or at least it will be when you remove the g modifier which makes no sense with athe tr opperator

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.
