I've read that @a = undef;
creates an array with 1 empty element. Why does it do so? (I'm trying to learn to think like Perl, not just learn it by rote.) TIA P.S. I'm surprised I couldn't find this in a FAQ. Doesn't everyone ask this question once they learn this item? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
