RE: List vs. Array
It's my impression (Danger Will Robinson!) that an array has a name while a list doesn't. That is, for: my @ary = (1, 2, 3); @ary is an array, while (1, 2, 3) is a list, the contents of which are the three integers, one, two, and three. This probably isn't quite kosher--there's probably more to it than this. Just my two cents.
