just seems that I'm braindead today. Why does this piece of code break?
#!perl -w
use strict;
my @c = q' # % ( / 3 6 7 @ B C G Q R ^ s t ~ ';
print $c[2];
# breaks into :
# Use of uninitialized value in print at test.pl line 6.
I even tried to join the array with this:
print join ('|', @c);
# results in: # % ( / 3 6 7 @ B C G Q R ^ s t ~
where am I going wrong? I guess there is something special about the characters?
The qw() operator works as far as joining the array, but breaks with -w and gives this warning.
Possible attempt to put comments in qw() list at test.pl line 4.
He who asks will be a fool for five minutes, but he who doesn't ask will remain a fool for life.

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).
