Hi, I haven't found the way to make the following snippet work.
$a = 'ABCD'; $b = 'bcda'; $z = 'DCBA'; eval "$z =~ tr/$a/$b/"; print $z, "\n"; # should be adcb __END__ DCBA OTOH the following works: $a = 'ABCD'; $b = 'bcda'; $_ = 'DCBA'; eval "tr/$a/$b/"; print $_, "\n"; # should be adcb __END__ adcb What am I doing wrong ? Thanks.
