Perl Beginner - Can't get PerlMagick to read filename from array element.

Hi all, it's been a while since I logged on here!

I've been trying my hand at a little perl and have hit a brick wall.

I'm using the Imagemagick module to manipulate some images. I can get the following to work without issue:

Code:

---

$teampath = "/var/www/team1";
$player=Image::Magick->new;
$imgpath = $teampath . "/img/player.png";
$player->Read("$imgpath")

---

..but really I want $imagepath to be an element of an array (because I intend to iterate through the array). However, this wont work for me:

Code:

---

$teampath = "/var/www/team1";
$player=Image::Magick->new;
$imgpath = $teampath . "/img/" . $images[0];
$player->Read("$imgpath")

---

It simply wont read the image.

@images is a properly defined array with 16 elements:

Code:

---

print "$imgpath\n";

---

Produces the following in either!! of the above cases:

Quote:

---

/var/www/team1/img/player.png

---

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong folks? :(

Does the behavior change if you put the $images[0] in quotes?

Code:

---

$imgpath = $teampath . "/img/" . "$images[0]";

---

I am thinking it may be a context issue, although I don't know of any contexts of an array slice that would not be a simple scalar.
