Hi,
Hello,
I'm stuck with what will probably turn out to be a simple solution,
I've been scouring google for ages, and can't find anything close to
what I'm looking for.
Given that
$fred = 10
$barney = abcdefghijklmn
how do I get $wilma = j
$ perl -le'
my $fred = 10;
my $barney = "abcdefghijklmn";
my $wilma = substr $barney, $fred - 1, 1;
print $wilma;
'
j
