| Limbic_Region | decides he has had enough for the night TTFN all |
| Randal | no "varvar" that is j_ - go read that |
| j_ | i want to do @collection1,@collection2 |
| Randal | no you don't |
| j_ | i can't? |
| Randal | you want @collections = ([1, 2, 3], [11, 12, 13]); then you can say $collections[0][2] to get to "3" and $collections[1][2] to get to "13" |
| j_ | assiociative... |
| Randal | No |
| j_ | sorry it's late... |
| Randal | array containing references to arrays see "perldoc perlreftut" |
| j_ | ok, sorry for boring you and ty for the tip thank you* |
| Randal | it's not boring you asked a question we answer. :) |
| j_ | :] |
| Randal | please stop with "u" and "ty" though unless you're paying for IRC by the character and then it would suck to be you |
| j_ | i will make an effort |
| Randal | not sure why it's harder to do less-normal things |
| peshalto | Any OS X users, is the best way to upgrade perl to 5.8.8 just plain old ./Configure -D ? i mean, download source, ./Configure, make, make test, sudo make install... |
| Randal | My Perl is already 5.8.8 I thinkg |
| peshalto | noticed there is an ActiveState perl for OS X ... was my shuddering on seeing that justified? |
| Randal | Oh . 5.8.6 the one I don't use I install Perl in /opt/perl/snap/* |
| peshalto | comes with 5.8.6 built-in |
| Randal | snap = snapshot it's not good to replace the built-in Perl there are modules there that other parts of the ssytem might depend on |
