Print array multiple variables

Question

Kindly advice I am unable to print value of a ,b &c

my @array = qw($a,$b,$c);
push(@new_array ,@array);

for my $x (@new_array)
{
DEBUG(" DEBUG : $x);
}

It showing me $a,$b,$c instead of there values.

Thanks,

If you had use warnings in your code, you would have been given a clue to the problem. If you had added use diagnostics you would have got a lot more detail. — Dave Cross

The qw operator creates a list of strings. It quotes words, so it's "qw".

my @array = qw( x y z );

is exactly the same as

my @array = ( 'x', 'y', 'z' );

Your line:

my @array = qw($a,$b,$c);

is saying

my @array = ( '$a,$b,$c' );

What you want is to drop the qw.

my @array = ( $a, $b, $c );
