Basically I'd like to split a specific field and use the names from an array as the scalar variable names for each field. Here is a snip of my code: # Begin Code $data = "A Tab Separated Data File"; @fields = qw/field1 field2 field3 field4 field5/; (@fields) = split("\t",$data); Print "$field2\t"; Print "$field3\n"; # End Code The print statements don't output "Tab" or "Separated" like I'd like them to do. What am I doing wrong here? What is the best way to do this type of function? Thank you very much for any assitance you can provide.
