I am amazed. How does someone figure out that you can do this sort of thing?

chomp($value[++$i] = <STDIN>);

I mean, $value[++$i]?  That really works?  Crazy.  I have six Perl books but
somehow I am not yet "getting" this language I guess. But you know what I
did, last prog I started just trying stuff that "might work" and you know
what, it usually did as long as I used parens or some such... like deciding
that I would try to string together a few statements using && and ||.

Should there be a "seventh" Perl book, or do I just not have it? Maybe that
book is "Experience in a Nutshell"?
