Hi Michael,

your right. It does work when I use

@me = ("5:6/7");

I was sure I've already tried it like this. Maybe it was a typo, which I didn't see.

I also thought the variable is pre-filled with the AKAs, like it is with $hosts etc. And then the unusual behavior of Perl confused me. I didn't expect that a variable can be created without explicit declaration or assignment. So Log(3, $me[0]) initialized an empty array @me. Most other languages would complain about an non existent variable.

Thanks :)
