Message: [QUOTE="djslls, post: 4863384"] I'm a beginner in perl. I met a problem today. I don't know why. Here is the scenario: Test on Windows XP, Perl v5.8.6, Locale: English #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Encode; use Text::ParseWords qw(parse_line); my $teststr="123#abc#xyz"; $teststr=decode("ascii",$teststr); ###(1) pay attention here my @testarray=parse_line("#",0,$teststr); my $test=$testarray[0]; print $test; in Normal executing mode, I get "123" in output; however, when debugging, I type "p $test" just before the last line, I get nothing. It should be "123". What happens here? Is there anybody know something about it? Thanks in advance! ps. if we comment the decode line, the script will work well in both mode. [/QUOTE]
