RTFM.

Possibly the section that says:

Interpolating an array or slice [snip], so is equivalent to interpolating
[snip perl code]

Then you look it up in the documentation (or at least try to)
before you ask thousands of people around the world to read
them to you.

Since your question seems to be about arrays, you might try

perldoc perldata

Arrays and slices are interpolated into double-quoted strings by ...


Since your question seems to be about quoting, you might try
the "Quote and Quote-like Operators" section in:

perldoc perlop

Interpolating an array or slice interpolates the elements in order,
separated by the value of...

Plz
answer the question as soon as possible.


You could have found the answer in the docs in less time than
it took you to type up your article.

Work smart!

Use the docs Luke.

Additionally, a subject should give an indication of what the post is
about, similar to a heading in a document. For example, which would you
rather read - a book with a section on dinosaurs with the heading:

"This is Important"

or the heading:

"A Brief History of Dinosaurs"

A subject that has little to do with the posted topic, such as "Very
urgent: plz someone answer", will tend to elicit very few or no responses
addressing the problem. It's also inconsiderate and counterproductive,
because it wastes the time of people who otherwise might help you.

By the way, the above advice can be applied to any document with a subject
line, such as an email message or a letter.

what kind of interview is this, that this question is so urgent,
that you have no time to look at the docs, or even make a few
simple tests, but still not so urgent that you can wait for your
question and the answers to propagate through usenet?

your question is not really specific enough.
are you asking about underlying technology, or what
happens when you print "@x", or what special variables
are involved, or how to do it?

please answer these urgent questions asap.

Perhaps he has a web-enabled cell phone and was able to post this
message while taking an interview examination?

Probably. And no doubt in two years I'll be hired to "maintain" his
nonfunctional code.
