Hi.

No.

The 'array_load' function populates the array with each
element within quotes. The 'array_save' function above,
outputs each element serially on one line.

However, I did manage a solution that works:

use: save_array ARRAY $filename
Code:
function array_assign
{
	eval "$1=( \"\${$2[@]}\" )"
}

function array_save
{
	local -a ARRAY;	array_assign ARRAY $1
	local	 FILE;	FILE=$2

	for ELEMENT in "${ARRAY[@]}"; do
		echo $ELEMENT
		done > $FILE
}

But it's not as elegant as the other functions. As the
function is part of a library that forms the foundation
of re-useable code concept, ideally it would have
been independent and used no named variables.

template::stash::context

Template::Stash::Context(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			       Template::Stash::Context(3)

NAME

       Template::Stash::Context - Experimetal stash allowing list/scalar context definition

SYNOPSIS

	   use Template;
	   use Template::Stash::Context;

	   my $stash = Template::Stash::Context->new(\%vars);
	   my $tt2   = Template->new({ STASH => $stash });

DESCRIPTION

       This is an alternate stash object which includes a patch from Craig Barratt to implement various new virtual methods to allow dotted
       template variable to denote if object methods and subroutines should be called in scalar or list context.  It adds a little overhead to
       each stash call and I'm a little wary of applying that to the core default stash without investigating the effects first. So for now, it's
       implemented as a separate stash module which will allow us to test it out, benchmark it and switch it in or out as we require.

       This is what Craig has to say about it:

       Here's a better set of features for the core.  Attached is a new version of Stash.pm (based on TT2.02) that:

       * supports the special op "scalar" that forces scalar context on function calls, eg:

	   cgi.param("foo").scalar

       calls cgi.param("foo") in scalar context (unlike my wimpy scalar op from last night).  Array context is the default.

       With non-function operands, scalar behaves like the perl version (eg: no-op for scalar, size for arrays, etc).

       * supports the special op "ref" that behaves like the perl ref.	If applied to a function the function is not called.  Eg:

	   cgi.param("foo").ref

       does *not* call cgi.param and evaluates to "CODE".  Similarly, HASH.ref, ARRAY.ref return what you expect.

       * adds a new scalar and list op called "array" that is a no-op for arrays and promotes scalars to one-element arrays.

       * allows scalar ops to be applied to arrays and hashes in place, eg: ARRAY.repeat(3) repeats each element in place.

       * allows list ops to be applied to scalars by promoting the scalars to one-element arrays (like an implicit "array").  So you can do things
       like SCALAR.size, SCALAR.join and get a useful result.

       This also means you can now use x.0 to safely get the first element whether x is an array or scalar.

       The new Stash.pm passes the TT2.02 test suite.  But I haven't tested the new features very much.  One nagging implementation problem is
       that the "scalar" and "ref" ops have higher precedence than user variable names.
