You want instead beginners@perl.org
Or perlmonks.org , where google will index it better
() is an ARRAY
[] is a reference to an array.
I thought read once that within an array declaration, [] is a real
array and not a reference-- or did i dream that up and have been
dealing with anonymous arrays all along?
ie:
my @real= ( 1 , [11,12,13] , 2 ,[21,22,23] );
my $ref= [1,2,3];
i could have sworn i read that when @real is compiled, the array-in-
an-array is real array and not a ref
i'm hopped up on too much codeine right now (bronchitis), so i'm
thinking less clearly than normal. forgive what's probably a stupid
question.
