arrays - Perl for loop error -

i new perl, trying execute simple program encoded below using strawberry perl 5, version 16:

#!usr/bin/perl  use warnings; use strict;  @array= {1,2,3,5,7,9}; $i;  foreach $i (@array) { print qq(element $i\n); }

i getting below output:

element hash(0x3f8b4c)

however output should receive is:

element 1 element 2 element 3 element 5 element 7 element 9.

appreciate in this.

to initialize array, use list like

my @array = (1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9);

note: parens sort out precedence, not special array syntax.

curlies delimit anonymous hashref, like

my $foobar = {   foo => "bar",   baz => "qux", };

so happened assigned array list of 1 anonymous hashref, like

my @array = ({   1 => 2,   3 => 5,   7 => 9, })

would have worked.
