($var1, $var2) is magic. I hate magic. What do you look up in the Perl
manual when you hit syntax like that? In PHP the equivalent syntax is:
list($var1, $var2) = ...
It does exactly the same thing, and it is legible. Anybody can pop over
to http://php.net/list and get an explanation of what the code does if
they run across it.
