Not to forget scalar evaluation within strings: "${\(<foo>)}" as in: perl -e 'print "Current time is: ${\(scalar localtime)}\n"' (the parens could as well have been omitted) as opposed to the array evaluation "@{[<foo>]}" as in: perl -e 'print "Current time is: @{[scalar localtime]}\n"' Note the obvious difference to: perl -e 'print "Current time is: @{[localtime]}\n"' Joerg
