Well, that's true.  I always figured print "@foo" was going to print 
the array reference, and never used it, until one day I was 
"correcting" my husband while reading over his shoulder after he'd 
asked for help debugging, and he told me what a doofus I was.  
(Well, he was politer than that.  Besides, I found whatever it was 
that he *had* done wrong.)

(On the one hand, I like finding things like this out.  On the other, 
then I feel compelled to go back through my code and "correct" it 
for whatever cooler way I just found to do something...)
