(really beginners) could think "@a" will empty array, which is not true.
yes it is true, they are both empty lists:
perl -mstrict -MData::Dumper -we 'my @x;my @y = ();print Dumper [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED];'
Show me any difference in @x and @y :)
Its about when and how its handled and the time it takes to handle it.
See John's excellent explanation earlier for more details.
