Re: [MacPerl] A doubt of a beginner

[dgeller@channel1.com (Dennis P. Geller)]

works for me:

$fruit='strawberry';
$string="apple,$fruit,orange";
print "$string\n";
======
apple,strawberry,orange

And I copied your line  "  $string="apple,$fruit,orange";   " from the e-mail.
The most likely problem is that you used single rather than double quotes
in the program.
