And of course, you could use parentheses here... <strong>@words = split()</strong>, and <strong>@words = split(' ', $_)</strong>. But I have a tendency not to, unless precedence issues take over.</p> Thu, 02 Nov 2000 13:18:02 +0000 japhy comment 1073449 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/serverside-scripting/style-bonanza#comment-1073430 <p>So what's with naming variables shift and split? What does that do?</p> <p>And wow, that works?</p> Thu, 02 Nov 2000 03:26:51 +0000 Vorm comment 1073430 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
