Unless the thing on the right-hand-side of the assignment is a 'list' and not an 'array'. This is the one place I can think of where the distinction between 'list' and 'array' actually makes a difference. Compare this: my $n = ( 4, 5, 6 ); with this: my @a = ( 4, 5, 6 ); my $n = @a; (Don't try this with the list ( 1, 2, 3 ), either!) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
