Ok ... please forgive my n00b-ness, but can you help me understand a
couple of things here.  This part:

   shift (@results) . $line

Is it the same as:

   shift @results . $line

I'm thinking "no".  But I don't know what the difference is.  I also
don't understand what exactly that shift is doing, but if I understand
the difference with the parens maybe It'll start to make more sense to
me.
