Why is this returning the return code

[cdlvj]

This is from a class object and is supposed to return a list. It is returning an array with what looks like a TRUE/FALSE in the array.

$dati = "file1\nfile2\nfile3\n";

return $dati ? split( /\n/, $dati ) : ();

How are you calling this in your script?

[cdlvj]

my @list;
my $clsa;
@list = $clsa->list();

@list = ( 1 );

should be
@list = ( "file1", "file2", "file3");

 

[KevinADC]

return $dati ? split( /\n/, $dati ) : ();

the above is returning a list in scalar context. Should be:

return @dati ? split( /\n/, $dati ) : ();
