If there are more than one element, yes, it needs to be seperated by white
space.
Since there are no spaces, therefore qw sees this as one element --->
qw(1,6.944,"methane",29.6576,70617.28,"*BB",8533.32,2381.0883,0.21);
In a later post by Michael R.Wolf, one could use qq instead, however take
note that qq and qw function differently.

In this case, there are more than one element and only the last element will
be put into the basket of $line.

If one of your elements have spaces in between, then you can't use qw, you
may have to use @array = ('first element' , "propyl alcohol" , "\"propyl
alcohol\"" , 'and so on .... ');
Merry Christmas Everybody.
