Presumably affects all versions of perl -- but how come if you run:
@array = ('a', 'b', 'c');
print join(" ", @array[0,0]), "\n";
you get an array with *two* elements, i.e. the script prints "a a"?
@array[0,0] ought to return an array with *one* element, with that element
being $array[0]. This would be consistent with the properties of arrays
that are returned for @array[x,y] when y > x -- i.e., the number of
elements is y - x + 1.
I guess it's up to the language designers, but I think it was a bad
decision. It's one more special case that you have to check for, because
it's inconsistent behavior.
