No. That prints the value of the last element of @myvar. The number items in the array is the scalar evaluation of @myvar.
print scalar @myvar;
I beg your pardon, but why $myvar[$#mmyvar] is the first element of array?
For example:
@myvar = qw(a b c d e f g);
and as I can understend, $#myvar is 7, but the last element has index 6.
