Not true, at least not in the Perl I know. :-) Here's a description of
what these do in Perl just to clarify:

   $a[0][1][2];      # get a single multidimensional element
   $a[0,1,2];        # get elements 0, 1, and 2 of @a

This lets you say:

   ($user, $home, $shell) = (getpwnam('nwiger'))[0,7,8];

Pretty cool, eh? This has been in Perl forever.
