This is really weird.
I've been trying to figure out why the value of a scalar changes when I send it to a subroutine, so I tried assigning the value within the subroutine to see if it was getting the value some other way, and this is what I got: Code: $banana = "3.1.2.3.3.5.B.06"; print $banana."\n"; Output: 3.1.2.3.3.5.B.06 3.1.2.3.3.5.B.06 3.1.4.3.3.5.B.04 3.1.2.3.3.5.B.06 3.1.2.3.3.5.B.06 Now, how the heck did that alternative value sneak in there? It is a valid value for this scalar, but not the one I expected. -Sarah -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
