I need to populate a select multiple on a web page when it loads with a series of values. Most of the values will be determined dynamically when the code runs but some are static. They look like "A - H", "I - P" and "Q - Z". The spaces are for readability.
What I am doing is declaring an array and assigning the value: @array = qw/All "A - H" "I - P" "Q - Z"/; and then pushing the to-be-determined values onto the array later on. However, when I print this all out while testing, I get each letter, hyphen and quote as individual elements. I've tried escaping different ways to no avail. I've looked on PerlMonks and saw a solution which created a scalar with a string containing each item separated by commas. It is then run through the split() function using the commas as the delimiter. I'd like a more succinct and cleaner method of doing this though, if possible. Any ideas?
