For: [EMAIL PROTECTED] = split /\t/,$rec;
First, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the same as $datafield{ scalar( @send ) }.
In other words, @send is used in scalar context and means the number of
elements in @send.
Second, split /\t/, $rec is also in scalar context, which means its
results is assigned to @_ and the number of elements in this list is
assigned to $datafield{scalar(@send)}. It is no longer considered good
practise to use @_ in this manner.
