splitting array returned from MySQL query

[bazz]

Hi,

I have a MySQL query which returns the array - Accommodation 00000000001

I need to split this into two values , Accommodation and number. I feel rusty coz this doesn't do it for me:


my ($Value, $pk) = split /\ / , @fields, 2;


pointers or (gentle), wake up calls welcome. ;)

EDIT:

finally got it: @fields[0] and @fields[1]

You mean:

$fields[0] and $fields[1]

[bazz]

well yeah I do but, it works with @fields[0] and @fields[1] too. I don't know why but I have changed it to $

Thanks

I take it that you don't have warnings enabled!


#!perl

use warnings;
use strict;

my @fields = qw(Accommodation 00000000001);
print "@fields[0]\n@fields[1]\n";

C:\testing>bazz.pl
Scalar value @fields[0] better written as $fields[0] at C:\testing\bazz.pl line 7.
Scalar value @fields[1] better written as $fields[1] at C:\testing\bazz.pl line 7.
Accommodation
