Based on perlref documentation arrow operator between brackets subscripts
may be omitted so the following code is valid:
@array = ( [1, 2], [3, 4] );
$element = $array[0][0]; # shorthand for $element = $array[0]->[0]
Could somebody explain why it causes syntax error when the above rule is
applied to returned value of a subroutine ?
sub mysub {
@array = ( [1, 2], [3, 4] );
return @array;
}
$element = (&mysub)[0][0]; # $elem = (&mysub)[0]->[0] is valid
