Yes: scalar in list context. > for ($arrayref) {...}; # loop body executed one or three times? Same thing: scalar in list context. So once. > for $arrayref {...}; # loop body executed one or three times? Same thing: scalar in list context. So once. Scalars only automatically dereference in *specific* contexts. An arrayref not used in Array context is still an arrayref, a hashref not used in Hash context is still a hashref. Pay attention to list context not being Array context. It does not dereference anything. Juerd -- http://convolution.nl/maak_juerd_blij.html http://convolution.nl/make_juerd_happy.html http://convolution.nl/gajigu_juerd_n.html
