combine three lines code into one

Hi Everyone,

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my $a = 'a,b,c,'; #line1
my $b = 'b'.",";   #line2
$a =~ s/$b//g;   #line3
print $a;

the output is "a,c,".

anyway to combine those three lines into a single?

Thanks

Code:
(my $a = 'a,b,c' ) =~ s/b\,//;
print $a

Please advice where i am wrong
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

(my $a = '1,2,3,4,5,6,7,' ) =~ s/`date +%u | tr -d '\n'`.","//g;

would like to have the output: "1,2,3,5,6,7,", means remove the current date.

Thanks

Can you explain it in detail? I mean there is no date in your $a variable?
Besides you cannot use shell commands within perl script in that way.

Sorry for not writting in details.

Code:
[root@ tmp]# cat 3.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my $date = `date +%u | tr -d '\n'`.","; #line1
(my $a = '1,2,3,4,5,6,7,' ) =~ s/$date//g; #line2
print $a;

[root@ tmp]# ./3.pl
1,2,3,5,6,7,

just want to combine line1 and line2 into line.

Thanks

Don't know how to do that, unfortunately. But you could try to use following instead of shelling out to date:
Code:
my $date = (localtime)[6];
